Anger and Forgiveness

Why Are We So Angry is an article from UTNE that I came across today. The article doesn't seem to have many answers, but it does provide a good deal of food for thought.

And then I came across a website for The Forgiveness Project. Now there is something counter-cultural! If you click on the Stories link you will read story after story after story of people who have somehow, some way, figured out how to forgive those that have caused them great harm, pain, and grief. There is nothing Pollyanna about this site. All the messy stuff of forgiveness is included in the story telling. These are stories of people striving for reconciliation and making the journey with faith and courage. Perhaps we can learn something from these wise ones?
