Quote by George Bernard Shaw

The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.

The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.

Summary

This quote suggests that the key to forgiveness lies in the act of not seeking to understand or rationalize the actions or motives of others. It implies that trying to comprehend the reasons behind someone's hurtful behavior can hinder forgiveness, as it may lead to frustration or prevent acceptance. Instead, forgiving without needing an explanation or justification allows for letting go of resentment and moving forward. By disconnecting understanding from forgiveness, one may find a path towards greater compassion and healing.
