About This Quote
A person who forgives someone for something done to them may still acknowledge that they were wronged. It is important not to confuse the act of forgiveness with agreement or acceptance. Forgiveness can be a powerful tool in emotional recovery. It's not about condoning or agreeing with the situation. It doesn't mean you think the other person was right or behaved perfectly, but it does mean you are choosing to let go of the anger and resentment.
