About This Quote
When a person forgives a wrong, they are not condoning it. They are simply saying that the person who committed the wrong was not fully responsible for that action, and that they do not expect that they will repeat those actions again. This may be a difficult lesson to learn, as revenge is an understandable emotion. When you forgive someone who has wronged you, however, you are no longer angry with them or bitter about what they have done. You have recognized that it is their actions, not their character, which you find objectionable.
