About This Quote

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world. When we forgive someone who has done wrong to us, we are making a contribution to the healing of the world. This is because when we forgive, we are not focusing on what they did to us, we are focusing on what we did to them. We were hurt and we took it out on them. So we forgive and we turn our focus away from ourselves and toward them and their situation and help them move on and leave us in peace.
