About This Quote

Forgiveness is a transformative act because it asks you to be a more empathetic and compassionate person, thereby making you better than the person you were when you were first hurt. Forgiveness grants amnesty to your past transgressions and sets you free to love again. It sets you free in so many ways. You can finally move on, feel better about yourself, and become happier than ever before.

Why is forgiveness so transformative in so many ways? For one thing, it allows you to take responsibility for your actions. The act of forgiving someone doesn’t absolve them of their crime; instead, it allows them the ability to take full responsibility for their actions. This not only makes them feel better about themselves but also less likely to do that same thing again in the future.
