Forgiveness

 
Courageous people do not fear forgiving 
for the sake of peace.
Nelson Mandela


Forgiveness does not change the past. 
It does not make what happened a non-event. 
It doesn't erase something that has been done. 
Forgiveness is an offer to reestablish a broken relationship. 
It says that loving is more important than nursing a wrong. 
It doesn't correct the past, but it does give back the future. 
It permits restoration of relationship.
 —Anonymous

Joy comes not through possession or ownership 
but through a wise and loving heart... 
Weigh the true advantages of forgiveness 
and resentment to the heart. 
Then choose. 
 Jack Kornfield
