Bill Cosby and the lesson

I guess no one wants to comment about the Bill Cosby mess. But I need to say something to release my feelings about the situation. First, I'm a christian and I try to live consciously with God's grace. So, forgiveness comes to mind in this entire mess. But for those of you who have not sinned then cast the first stone. Be very careful of judging someone when your own closet is full of skeletons. We all have skeletons in our closet and we never want that door open. It may not be to the extent of rape allegations, it might be worse or it might not. The thing is its in our closet hopefully never coming out. Don't get me wrong I don't condone any rape. Abuse is wrong, period. If he did it then he'll carry it for the rest of his life. I believe the natural consequence for this is Mr. Cosby's consciousness. If he did it, its going to eat at him over and over again. No one gets away with hurting someone, I dont care how good life looks for them. What you do will come back full circle to you. You reap what you sow. People may think they get away with hurting people but they don't. Life has a way of knocking you down on your knees then you remember all that you have done. These woman waited for soooooooo long with allegations that at this point I must ask what's their intention? But whatever their intention is they must move past the pain of the alleged rape. Part of the pain is not forgiving. I know forgiveness is very hard especially when someone hurts you deeply. Its difficult to even think about forgiving when hurt goes so deep within. But at some point we must all forgive those who hurt us to release the emotional pain. Holding on just keeps us with baggage full of grief, hurt, sorrow and pain. Those old memories and felings of hurt, confusion, etc will only burn a hole in your soul. Your spirit stays broken even when life is pleasant. Release it and ask God for the spirit of forgiveness. Even when you have caused hurt and pain to someone you should pray and ask for forgiveness. Saying you forgive someone and actually forgiving them are not the same. Its easy to say it but to actually do within your heart is a high form of compassion. Have you released thr pain and hurt someone caused you? Do you think Mr. Bill Cosby should be forgiven if he did rape these women? At this point Mr. Bill Cosby's life will never be the same, his name has been tarnished. Whether its true or not. This situation hurts everyone involved Cosby, his family, the women and their families. The alleged incidents happened long ago and if its true both parties (rapist and rape victims) needed help a long time ago. Its a very very sad situation but something we all can learn from: The power of forgiveness.
