Jim NortonWhile There may be power in forgiveness, there is even more power in lobbing a Molotov cocktail through someone's dining room window.
About This Quote
A person who delivers a punch to their ex-partner’s new boyfriend but forgives the new boyfriend, is a cowardly person. They are a person who is willing to take a beating from their ex-partner and not fight back. They are a person who gives in and uses forgiveness as a way of avoiding conflict. It is not right to forgive without taking some kind of action back on the person that was wronged.
If you forgive someone, even if they continue to behave badly, you are empowering them. Just because you forgive them doesn't mean they deserve to get away with it.
