Pearls Before Swine On Forgiveness

 

Stephan Pastis' long-running comic strip, Pearls Before Swine, recently ran three panels that clearly pronounced a truth about forgiveness that I've spent several blog entries trying to make clear.

We begin with Rat's vengeful goal.


Then we see how Pig is affected by Rat's efforts.


Finally, Goat uses sarcasm to bring the point home.

Truth is...when Jesus tells us to forgive one another and love our enemies and all that, it really is in our best interest, not just some highfalutin grasp at moral superiority.
