We've been taught to forgive.

If you can forgive and forget...

We can forgive, but forgetting, it's impossible.

The willingness to forgive is not enough, even if you want to forgive but you can not forgive.

It can be joined with the harder work of forgiveness and reconciliation, but it can also express itself in the simple act of presence.

I'm not sure if I can show you what tolerance looks like, but I can show you what compassion looks like because it is visible.

It is hard to call for forgiveness when the wounds are still sore, but without it nothing can stop the bloodshed.

Burdened with my belief that forgiveness was power, and that Christ in whom I believed, had called upon us to forgive those who have wronged us, the true test of my belief was forgiving the people at that checkpoint, my new enemies, those who killed my mother.
