Power of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not a favor to the wound. It is labor in the body — the jaw unclenching after the story has finished its first draft of revenge.

You may release someone and still remember the knife. Memory is not malice. It is inventory.

The beauty of forgiveness is not that the harm glows — it is that you stop paying interest on a debt the other person is not collecting.

Some doors stay closed. That is also a form of mercy toward the self.

The jaw unclenches one notch further.
