About This Quote

The moment we see beyond our personal desires to be felt sympathy for, that is the time we can actually start the journey to that final destination of true forgiveness. "Doing good for no reason" is the act that people call doing good. The act to do good for no reason is really just doing whatever someone else says will make you happy. It's putting other people's needs ahead of your own and it's not something you'll feel good about for much longer.
