Because Arrogance Is Born In Personal Vanity,

Forgiveness Is God's Invention For Coming To Terms With A World In Which People Are Unfair To Each Other And Hurt Each Other Deeply. He Began By Forgiving Us. And He Invites Us All To Forgive Each Other.

To Miss Out On Joy Is To Miss Out On The Reason For Your Existence.

...forgiving Is Not Having To Understand. Understanding May Come Later, In Fragments, An Insight Here And A Glimpse There, After Forgiving.

We Attach Our Feelings To The Moment When We Were Hurt, Endowing It With Immortality. And We Let It Assault Us Every Time It Comes To Mind. It Travels With Us, Sleeps With Us, Hovers Over Us While We Make Love, And Broods Over Us While We Die. Our Hate Does Not Even Have The Decency To Die When Those We Hate Die-for It Is A Parasite Sucking Our Blood, Not Theirs. There Is Only One Remedy For It. [forgiveness]

Forgiving Does Not Erase The Bitter Past. A Healed Memory Is Not A Deleted Memory. Instead, Forgiving What We Cannot Forget Creates A New Way To Remember. We Change The Memory Of Our Past Into A Hope For Our Future.
