To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, all in one.
I am convinced that in the long run no one can hurt another without the other’s consent; that is, hurt him in a deeply significant, personal, internal sense. This is because we always have the power to choose a response to what someone else does to us. This may be the reason why failure to forgive someone else is a greater sin than that which he has done to us. That is, it causes more damage to the unforgiving one – a damage in the mind and heart – than that caused by what the other person may do to him externally.
