About This Quote
Is it easy? Usually not. But you don't forgive people for their benefit. You do it for your benefit. When we forgive and forget and move on, we may feel better but we also benefit in a different way.
We often forget the pain we suffered because we were upset and we may not realize how our relationship would have benefited from forgiveness. If we forgive someone, we give them a chance to be a better person. And, if they become a better person, that means that they may forgive us for something that was once an unforgivable offense.
