More on forgiveness

I believe in forgiveness.  I have seen what it releases in my life to let it go.  Here are some other thoughts I have read:

Forgiveness is not for anybody else.  There's a story of two ex-prisoners of war.  One says to the other, "Have you forgiven your captors yet?" And the second says, "No. Never".  And the first one says, "Then they still have you in prison, don't they?"

We find forgiveness in all different religious traditions.  Christians have "Turn the other cheek" and Christ's teachings of forgiveness.   Hatred never ceases by hatred; but by love alone is healed.
