Maybe He'll get what he deserves. Maybe Not. Maybe I'll never find it in my heart to forgive him. And maybe there's nothing wrong with that, either. All those maybes swimming around my head make me think that "maybe" could just be another word for hope.

About This Quote

The first line of this quotation is the key to the meaning of the rest of it. The author is saying that we can't know if we forgive someone for his or her wrongdoing. But we can hope and wonder about what "maybe" means, and we can strive for that kind of hope. We can choose to live as if we forgive that person rather than as if we don't.
