Forgiveness Lady FORGIVENESS is the Only Way to Peace

When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.
Lewis B. Smedes

Without forgiveness life is governed by an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation
 Roberto Assagioli

…Forgiving is not having to understand. Understanding may come later, in fragments, an insight here and a glimpse there, after forgiving.
Lewis B. Smedes
