About This Quote
Forgiveness and Blame share an apartment, but not for long, because Blame can’t live with Forgiveness, and Forgiveness can’t live with Blame. In this quote, the speaker is warning people about the dangers of being quick to blame those who have wronged them. Often, those who have been hurt by others will feel as if they have been wronged again. They may turn their anger back on the people who caused their pain.
While blaming is very easy to do, it is also very damaging. It not only damages the well-being of those who are wronged but also hampers the ability of those who are blamed to heal. The speaker suggests that forgiveness is the only way to move forward.
When we forgive others, we free ourselves from having to blame them for our own problems.
