When you hold resentment toward another,
you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger
than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.
Because to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was
you. Sincere forgiveness isn't coloured with expectations that the other person
apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you.
Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and
time.
A wise man will make haste to forgive,
because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in
unnecessary pain. He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself
must pass.
Forgiving is life's toughest work. Forgiving
seems almost unnatural. Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay
for the wrong they do. But remember, it is only the weak that can never
forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Why is it easier to forgive an enemy than it is to
forgive a friend?
