'HOW BLEST ARE THE SORROWFUL; THEY SHALL FIND CONSOLATION.'
The sorrowful - not the angry, not the disappointed, not the critical small 'I's. Sorrowful, in the face of the sad truth of the lower level, and at the same time not imagining things could be other than they are at that level. Seeing it as it is.
'... THEY SHALL FIND CONSOLATION.'
Consolation - an understanding will come that will more than 'payback' for the seeing and the resulting 'sorrowfulness'.They'll find understanding, they'll find consolation, they'll come alive. 
What is 'consolation', generally speaking? You get something back that makes some effort all worthwhile. What can make anythingworthwhile other than Understanding? What else has any value? An orgasm, maybe? How blessed are the sorrowful, they shall have orgasms. No, it says consolation. The biggest 'consolation' people seem to want is in that 'O' word. But I tell you, there are much better things in store for us, under the heading of Understanding, that comes from seeing.

And 'real forgiveness' is understanding enough that you for-gave before anything happened, because you already understood how those things happen. You give, give before, for-give. It's not judging it 'wrong' and then saying, 'oh, you know, I won't make a fuss'. We came to the conclusion that in the end it's really a question of seeing.
