In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.
Sir Francis Bacon
If the Earth were a few feet in diameter, floating a few feet above a field somewhere, people would come form everywhere to marvel at it. People would walk around it marvelling at its big pool of water, its little pools and the water flowing between. People would marvel at the bumps on it and the holes in it, They would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding it and the water suspended in the gas. The people would marvel at all the creatures walking around the surface of the ball and at the creatures in the water. The people would declare it as sacred because it was the only one, and they would protect it so that it would not be hurt. The ball would be the greatest wonder known, and people would come to pray to it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty and to wonder how it could be. People would love it, and defend it with their lives because they would somehow know that their lives could be nothing without it. If the Earth were a few feet in diameter." -Joe Miller, If the Earth...Were a Few Feet in Diameter
Forgiveness is freeing up and putting to better use the energy once consumed by holding grudges, harboring resentments, and nursing unhealed wounds. It is rediscovering the strengths we always had and relocating our limitless capacity to understand and accept other people and ourselves.
