we forgive for our own benefit not for another's

Jesus wants us to forgive others. Is this for their benefit or is it for ours? We forgive others for our own benefit and mind our own business as to whether it does anything whatever for another. It is what is in our own eye that we are to be concerned with, not anyone with else. That is their jurisdiction and the business of the Holy Spirit, not ours. This is what Jesus told Peter in regard to the longevity of John.

Milky Way Explanation

Gazing out from within the Milky Way, our own galaxy's true structure is difficult to discern. But an ambitious survey effort with the Spitzer Space Telescope now offers convincing evidence that we live in a large galaxy distinguished by two main spiral arms (the Scutum-Centaurus and Perseus arms) emerging from the ends of a large central bar. In fact, from a vantage point that viewed our galaxy face-on, astronomers in distant galaxies would likely see the Milky Way as a two-armed barred spiral similar to this artist's illustration. Previous investigations have identified a smaller central barred structure and four spiral arms. Astronomers still place the Sun about a third of the way in from the Milky Way's outer edge, in a minor arm called the Orion Spur.
