FORGIVENESS breaks the chain of causality because the one who "forgives" you —out of love—assumes the consequences of what you have done. Forgiveness, therefore, always entails a sacrifice. The price you must pay for your own liberation through another's sacrifice is that you in turn must be willing to liberate in the same way, irrespective of the consequences to yourself.
Dag Hammerskjöld
WE owe it to each other to recognize that the ability to forgive can't be rushed. We do a great disservice to our families and friends when we rush forgiveness because, in fact, simple time may be all that's needed to foster it.
