Love is an act, a tender look
Without forgiveness life is governed by... an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.
FORGIVENESS, ENDLESS CYCLE OF RESENTMENT AND RETALIATION
I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.
FORGIVENESS, FORGIVENESS LIBERATES THE VICTIM
People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
