About This Quote
Forgiveness is really just another word for freedom. You can forgive someone who has wronged you, but you cannot ask them to stay in your life. Forgiveness is a choice that most of us want to make, but most of us don’t know how. In this quote, Nelson Mandela says that keeping a grudge is like being a prisoner to yourself. It means that you are holding on to the wrongs that have been done to you and preventing yourself from moving forward.
