Forgive Me

Is there a limit on how many times you can forgive yourself?  How many times can you forgive someone else?  Is Forgiveness limitless?  What is it about Forgiveness that makes it so hard for many  to take that first step?  What exactly is an Act of Forgiveness?  -- not expecting anything in return accepting yourself and others reaching out across the wide divide offering your hand and your heart being blind to others' faults.  Forgiveness is Reconciliation An Act of Love.  If we all turned to one another right now and asked for forgiveness, if nations and corporations and government and family and acquaintances and friends and strangers all turned around and asked for forgiveness and in turn forgave others, what a difference this would make in the world.
