he’s a better man than most everyone here

Tbh I was gonna say “real” but it’s fine whether you do or don’t forgive tbh

User below me is a b****

Hi

"Santana later told the Guardian in 2014 that his abuser was a tourist who had became friends with his parents.

He recalled how his mother confronted him about the abuse in front of siblings, which he said weighed on him for years.

“I was the victim, but they were hearing that I made it happen,” he said. “That stayed on my mind for a long, long time – that she didn’t have the compassion to say, ‘I feel so bad that I didn’t read the signs.'”

Bruh wtf Why would you ever forgive a man who never even took accountability for what he did to you

Pretty bad thread so far

that makes a bigger difference for me so nvm

Because why would want to pass away without letting go of that dark cloud of negativity

He probably did it for his own sanity

same tbh

especially if I was a celebrity with millions in disposable income

that nigga would have been tracked down and killed with the swiftness

Forgiveness is less about passing a judgement on the character of the perpetrator or what they did, and more about letting go of the trauma and allowing yourself to wish that they can become a better person as you have healed and become better yourself.
It’s like, not saying they are okay or that what they did was okay, but instead of wishing the worst on them, you just have healed enough to see the situation for what it is, and you can hope that they become a better person, repent, experience penance, and become a better person too.
Good for Santana

wow

I think you can move on and accept what happened to you without forgiving someone but if that's what he needed, all power to him

preach king

You beat da game 🤝

one of my favorite musicians ever and a true master of his craft

glad he was able to make peace with this

Yeah I mean after all this time it kinda makes sense

Me & my dad had planned for a Santana concert. We bonded thru his music. But my dad passed away like a month or two before the concert so I went with my mom
I remember someone asking me my favorite album and I said Borbaletta. Not one of his well known albums. The man was surprised and told me to listen to Moonflower which I actually hadn’t listened to yet

same
and then i will forgive them for my own sake and healing

i fwu higgsy u my dawg

title reminds me of this
