“When we forgive we set ourselves free, free from emotional enslavement to rage, free from the impact of other people’s mistakes, free to create something new. To accept our path as it was, does not condone, rather, it empowers us to design a new destiny. In letting go of our demand for justice, our scars then become part of our beauty. For suffering is the pathway of wisdom. In forgiveness, we grant ourselves permission to be happy once again.”
