1 " Dressing up forgiveness to look comfortable does nothing more than save face. Forgiveness is a one-sided gift to the abuser and a self-inflicted punishment for the victim. Standing up for oneself by forcing repayment of debt makes a person whole and sets them free. Payback fully satisfies Newton’s Third Law of Motion. "

2 " Religious people forgive only because they trust that sweet revenge is deferred until judgment day. They conjure up satisfying fantasies about watching God settle the score on their behalf. They find comfort in the biblical assurance that they’ll one day watch the agony of their enemies as a reward for denying themselves the satisfaction of taking immediate revenge. "

You are respected. You have a reason for living. You are useful. And then, in a flash,” Pop snapped his fingers, “you are disrespected, uncomfortable, and what’s left of your miserable life is hell—and precarious—much like your life right now, Mr. Denny.” Mark swallowed hard. Pop’s phone beeped and he tapped on the screen a few times and then held it up to his face to read before he put it back into his pocket. "
