What do you think should be forgiven?

Do you ever think about forgiveness? What is able to be forgiven and what is not? Lets go back to World War II. If you were in a concentration camp and you seen another inmate helping your captors by beating fellow inmates to make them work harder, would you be able to forgive them?

I believe that you should forgive them. You never know if your captors threatened your fellow inmate or not. Your captors could have told the inmate that they would kill them and/or their family if they didn't do as told. Almost anyone will do anything to keep their family out of harm’s way so you can’t not forgive the person for protecting their family.
I also believe you should forgive them because to be able to be forgiven you must know how to forgive. If the person asks for forgiveness they should receive it. Everyone should be forgiven if they ask for it.
Now think back to my question. If you seen a fellow inmate beating other inmates or yourself could you forgive them?

songs have meanings

Most the time when a person listens to a song they never really truly listen to the words. Most songs have a meaning, a point to them, but we just never listen close enough to find it. The song "Saving Amy" by Brantley Gilbert is one of those songs that has a very good meaning to it. If we would just take the time to listen to it we would see it. When most people listen to this song they are just think ''good song'' and ''aw thats sad'' but this song has much meaning to it.  In the song Brantley sings "She still wearin' my ring, It hasn't left her finger since the night that I proposed, When I promised her forever before I took her home, But I never made it home that night" when he sings this his talking about one of his friends that had proposed to his girlfriend Amy then had a car wreck on his way home that night and passed away. I have a text to self connection to this but in a different way. Not that long ago I lost my boyfriend and this song makes perfect since to me now. Later in the song he says ''Part of her died too I've watched her losin' her mind And there's nothin' I can do, oh Sometimes she goes crazy screamin' out my name Saying "baby please come save me" I wish she knew I'd do anything'' and I dont know how to explain it but it makes perfect since to me . 

Monument Bankruptcy

       Harmon’s Monuments in Possum Grape, AR was a well-known and trusted business to use when people needed monuments made. The Harmon’s had been in business for eighteen years, but in early February this year the company filed bankruptcy. The articles referring to the bankruptcy said, “Possum Grape’s population at least doubled” on the day that the story was released. Over two-hundred families were having headstones made for loved ones. Payments had already been made for the headstones, and some were only waiting to be delivered to the cemeteries.  Lawyers working in the bankruptcy case have set a meeting date in mid-March for the families to ask questions, but the lawyers have also said that people will not get their money back or the headstones. The bankruptcy hearing is not scheduled until March 4^th.

   The company was still taking payments on the headstones as of December, but after that none of the family members were able to get ahold of the company. The families said that nobody would ever answer the phone, and that eventually the line had gotten disconnected. None of the families mentioned any type of notification about the bankruptcy until after the fact, so this has naturally left over two-hundred people very hurt and angry. It is not really the money that the families are so upset about; it is the fact that their family members have to continue to lie in unmarked graves because this business could not have been more professional about all of this. One woman had even seen her parents’ finished headstones and was just waiting for them to be delivered, but now that will not happen. When asked how she felt she said, “"Well the money plays a part but I guess more than anything else is just getting this close, and I want it so bad. And it's done. And I just want to be able to take it…and get it set." Even if this woman can get her parents’ headstone after the bankruptcy has been settled she could still be waiting months or even years. Being one of the families affected by this I know how frustrating it has been to have thousands of dollars just thrown down the drain, and to have the emotional wounds from the death of a loved one ripped open again. That is all that really matters in this case; the pain of knowing a loved one is laying in an unmarked grave all because of other peoples’ sheer ignorance. This story is a very unhappy one, but unfortunately instances like this happen all of the time. Surely the company knew that the business was going under, so the least the owners could have done would be let the families know something. The owners could have told the families that were paying right before this happened to save their money because they were filing for bankruptcy. The families that had completed headstones could have arranged for some other way of transporting the monument to the cemetery. There are plenty of explanations that the company could have given to keep this from being such a huge, painful ordeal.
