About This Quote

Forgiveness is the ability to let go of anger, resentment and hatred. Forgiveness is an act of love. However, it is never an easy thing to do, especially when you feel you have been wronged by someone. While forgiveness can be difficult at times, it is necessary for survival.

We can all remember situations where we were hurt by another person and the hurt is still there. Forgiveness will help us move on with our lives and not dwell on the past mistakes.
