Forgiveness IS … (07/19/13)

“Forgiveness is not forgetting an injustice done; it is the understanding that allows us to set aside the emotional impact of that wrongdoing. When we no longer hold onto our sadness and our anger, and instead choose to feel compassion for the person who inspired them, we have finally truly forgiven them — we have finally set them free from the clutches of their misdeed, and thereby empowered them to act differently the next time.” ~ inspired by M. Singer
