I am glad you liked my emphasis on the life-long mediation of instinct.
I also am quite moved by your definition and emphasis on forgiveness: ‘Forgiveness is the boundary between exclusion and embrace,’ and might we forgive ourselves in failing to always be “Absolute Knowers” so that we might “fail better?”
Thank you my friend, and I do think the topic of "forgiveness" is critical today, because it is a virtue that runs such a risk of being a radical vice in enabling evil. At the same time, a world without forgiveness seems unsustainable, so how might we approach and think this topic? I keep coming back and circling it...

Fantastic, and also fantastically difficult!

That is where you will find me caught in the cobwebs of my own impossible loop, good sir.
