To Gain Inner Peace, You Must Forgive

 


Forgive those who have injured you -
not because they deserve your forgiveness,

Forgiving is your gift to yourself - a great gift - the gift of happiness.

The remedy for wrongs is to forget them.

At times, it feels more painful
than the wound we suffered,
to forgive the one that inflicted it.
And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
- Marianne Williamson

Forgiveness means letting go of the hope for a better past.
- Lama Surya Das

Forgiveness ... is the finishing of old business
that allows us to experience the present,
free of contamination from the past.
