Forgiveness really is so misunderstood, as well as the power it can release in an individual.

I think it's important to remember that Christianity was based in love and tolerance and forgiveness and acceptance.

I think we learn the most from imperfect relationships - things like forgiveness and compassion.

On a level of simple personal survival, understanding and forgiveness are crucial... whether in an intimate personal relationship or on a global level.

When there's that forgiveness present and compassion, it just helps you live so much easier.
