Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

When it comes to hurting others, we can't seem to help ourselves.  We make mistakes and our mistakes sometimes leave unfinished business behind us. We know  that we must take responsibility for what we have done to wrong others, even when it was unintentional or even necessary as the lesser of two evils.   Facing those we have wronged is difficult and sometimes frightening, especially when they are family or close friends,  A part of us wants to forget, to just pull the covers up over our heads. 
 
Sometimes  "forgetting" is possible, although difficult. But not always. Then we must live through the awful moment of returning to face the ones we have hurt and own the  consequences of our offenses, misdeeds and mistakes. When we do have to look our "victims"  in the eye, we may first try and "buy off"their pain and anger with gifts and even flattery.  When this fails, we pray for the courage  to stand up to their rebuke and condemnation and, if, no matter what we do, they seek revenge, we hope for the courage to confront and endure it successfully. After all, we cannot allow our life to collapse under the weight of our mistakes. In the end, if we are very fortunate, we may find reconciliation. And, if not, a bearable and safe way to part ways.
 
Reflections occasioned by Genesis 32:4-33:20 and the accompanying rabbinic exposition and commentary.
