Beautifully written. I don't share all of your views but I deeply appreciate them.

I find much of the issue comes in blindly believing these things. We hear these ideas like "Forgiveness and gratitude are key, We are all One, All is Love".

I do truly believe that we can come to a place where we understand these concepts and can integrate them, and then they go from being a belief to being truth.

However, to be integral beings, we must discover these truths for ourselves, rather than just be told them. Otherwise, we're operating with the same issues that have plagued religions for centuries.
