" Some people are able to forgive when they realize that the other person just couldn't help it, because he or she was sick, damaged, or limited somehow.
Some people find forgiveness when they realize the other person has suffered more than they have.
We also find forgiveness when we realize the other person has suffered enough, even if he or she hasn't suffered more than we have.
We forgive when we realize we're safe now.
We forgive when we realize that we don't want to be the kind of person who doesn't forgive.
We forgive when the other person makes up for what he or she has done.
But perhaps the most important reason is that when we don't forgive, we're the ones who are hurt the most. "
