Let me first clarify that the characters of the book seem a little small ... This will, no doubt, an "airy" book and "economic" ... but I think that a little more would make large print reading more pleasant ... On the merits ... Forgiveness is obviously an essential, central subject, "in our lives" ... Who does not have something to forgive ??? Who has not suffered an injustice ??? That has nothing to forgive himself, to others, to the ... "Life" ... (to ... "God" ...) ??? To address this issue, I think that Olivier Clerc is particularly balanced and competent. It offers nothing impossible ... Forgiveness is sometimes "heroic" but it's not impossible ... He thinks that ways are always open to us, appear somehow "naturally" ... He especially emphasized a point that seems ESSENTIAL ... Forgiveness is above all something, "a gift", which is A SELF ... forgive is to take a "shower the heart "... This means accepting that the wound heals ... This is washing, disinfecting, let nature ... forgive is a" HEALING THE WOUNDS OF THE HEART "... its own heart (first) ... From there, everything becomes clear ... Forgiveness does not depend on the other ... No need to wait on the other he understands what he did and he apologizes .. . It belongs to him ... This will happen maybe never and should not me "hang" ... No need, therefore, to reconcile with the other ... not need him "fall into the arms "to" cry together "... I forgive first for myself, for me RELEASE, to continue to" move forward in life ".... I WILL NOT GIVE THE CONTINUE TO ANOTHER POWER SPOIL ME A LIFE ... The author also makes an interesting distinction between the head and the heart ... The two must COMPLETE ... My heart forgives .... but my head does not have to be "crazy" or "unconscious". .. My head does not condone, excuse ... My head can continue to disapprove ... to think that the act was a mistake, a "mistake" illegal ... Maybe take-t we go file a complaint, if only to protect others in the future ... But I can, at once, file complaints and forgive ... I simply removes hatred and desire for revenge. .. I'm just waiting for "justice" ... We must therefore try to be very JUST when talking about forgiveness ... not to mix all, do not confuse everything ... From there, forgiveness is not a religious act, or obsolete and archaic .. . It is neither humiliating nor guilt ... It is certainly not an act of "weakness" ... It is an act of FREEDOM. Freedom of deep ... that can only come when you are ready ... we absolutely can not force ... It is rooted in deep humility and comes in its time, open ... the floodgates of love ... The great merit of the author is to understand that this is a different process for everyone ... and may even vary over a lifetime ... There no one way to forgive ... The author presents several and shows that it is sometimes easier to forgive ASK FORGIVENESS ... This can be a "good start" ... This is also the method of Don Miguel Ruiz and the Asking forgiveness of Ho'oponopono ... pout all that went wrong, everything that has accumulated ... and eventually forgive yourself ... The book is also sprinkled with testimonies, including parents who have lost a child ... They just show that forgiveness is possible and LIBERATOR. For each other and for ourselves ... As one mother, about ... "I understood that if I do not forgive, I would become someone that my daughter [murdered] n ' would not have liked "... Forgiveness is the" resurrection of love "... It's a beautiful way. A path Humanity, Freedom and Love ... It is both a decision and, undoubtedly, a "natural movement" ... It is difficult and demanding. This is undoubtedly one of the most difficult things in life .... never acquired ... If we happen tomorrow, a great drama, particularly odious and unjust, how will we respond ??? Impossible to say, probably ... But forgiveness pathways arise certainly to us ... It is a small book to read fast enough ... It is absolutely not a "sum" or a "Treaty" ... This book OPENS SKIING, present cases, ideas and "solutions" means "methods" ... It's a INVITATION .... I recommend it to everyone, at any age. It is probably never too early or too late, to "learn to forgive" ... It is a path of liberation and love ... Enjoy!
