[5782] what even is time?
In group chat this morning:
Thom: It's Monday, loves.I have a lot of draft posts swirling about forgiveness, abuse, etc.; but I wanted to at least get my usual repost-from-Amy posted while it's still Rosh Hashana.
Dan: I...but...
Dan: Happy new year that is definitely a Tuesday
One of the big pieces of the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is that you reflect over the past year, and you attempt to (A) accept and forgive anything that has been done to you, and (B) apologize and ask forgiveness for anything you have done to others.[I mean, spoilers, I have some thoughts about "accept and forgive anything that has been done to you" -- but I do still like the idea of "acknowledge what has happened over this year (or any previous time, if you so choose) as an attempt to not have it happen again."]
[...]
Anonymous is enabled, and all comments are screened. If I've done anything to hurt you this year, let me know. If there's anything you think I might still be upset over, let me know that too. I won't unscreen unless you specifically request I do [...] The goal isn't to start fresh- that's often not possible- but to acknowledge what has happened over this year (or any previous time, if you so choose) as an attempt to not have it happen again.
I promise to treat anything you say seriously and respectfully, and I will seriously be considering it over the next ten days.
