all about forgiveness

“Forgiveness is an act of generosity. It requires that we place releasing someone else from the prison of their guilt or anguish over our feelings of outrage or anger. By forgiving we clear a path on the way to love. It is a gesture of respect. True forgiveness requires that we understand the negative actions of another.” -bell hooks, all about love

Forgiveness, I’ve learned, is the most joyous gift of all. It’s freedom.
