Forgive

[scintilla]

Since nothing we intend is ever faultless,
and nothing we attempt ever without error,
and nothing we achieve without some measure
of finitude
and fallibility
we call humanness,

we are saved by forgiveness.

Is it? I don't even know what this is or why it's a random Lounge thread. A poem? A quote? I'm so confused...

Reads like a poem.

Unless it is that bastard in the Lexus
who cut me off on Highway 99,
then there is no better purpose for my mind
than wrath
and irritability.
So I'll pass the treacherous,

and flip'm off when he's next to us.

And the person we often find hardest to forgive is ourselves.

Whut, *nothing* we ever do is without error?

That's why we have toasters.
