One can't relive one's life. Forgiveness is not what's difficult; one's always too ready to forgive. And it does no good, that's obvious.

Summary

However, forgiving alone does not bring any benefit or resolution to the situation at hand. The quote suggests that forgiving someone or oneself does not erase the consequences or negative impact of past actions. It emphasizes the immutability of the past and the futility of relying solely on forgiveness to rectify past mistakes.
