IF YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE TO SET YOURSELF FREE, THAT FORGIVENESS IS TAINTED WITH SELFISHNESS. IF YOU FORGIVE AN UNREPENTANT PERSON, YOU DENY THEM A GROWTH OPPORTUNITY, AND THAT LACKS COMPASSION. IF YOU FORGIVE A CRIME IN WHICH YOUR SUFFERING IS NOT REDRESSED, YOU HAVE DEBASED YOURSELF, AND THAT IS SELF-HARM. IF YOU FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR AN OFFENCE AGAINST ANOTHER WITHOUT MAKING AMENDS, THAT IS A LACK OF INTEGRITY. FORGIVENESS SHOULD BE FREELY GIVEN WHERE IT IS DULY EARNED, BUT IT IS TOO BEAUTIFUL A GIFT TO WASTE.
