Quote by Jonathan Anthony Burkett

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond who you were.

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to gro

Summary

This quote is suggesting that anger is a limiting emotion that diminishes oneself, whereas forgiveness has the power to transform and expand one's personal growth. When someone holds onto anger, it consumes their energy and narrows their perspective, making them smaller in their outlook. On the other hand, forgiving someone requires one to rise above their hurt and resentment, enabling them to evolve and surpass their previous self-imposed limitations. By letting go of anger and embracing forgiveness, an individual can open the door to personal growth and become a better version of themselves.

The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two; so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.
