About This Quote

When we do wrong we should ask for forgiveness, if we can't do it then we should at least ask for mercy. When people do not know how to show mercy, they cannot forgive themselves or anyone else. The real question is how does one go about forgiving themselves and those they have wronged? In the book, "Breakfast of Champions," a woman is on a date with a man. During dinner, he asks this question: "It's hard to know what's right in this life,' she said.
