Forgiveness is a wonderful idea, in theory. Forgive, forget, get on with your life. But honestly, can you think of one person that you have ever completely forgiven? Likewise, most books on ethics and morality recommend forgiveness as a way to escape suffering, as if anger or hatred were something to brush off with a plainspoken "I forgive you." Rabbi Rami views forgiveness differently because he understands the trickster nature of the self. In the Rabbi Rami Guide to Forgiveness, he'll help you to see that you aren't who you think you are. Once you stop identifying with the slights and grudges borne against you, once you recognize that discord is most often a normal, unintentional consequence of daily life, forgiveness can begin to happen naturally.
