Summary

This quote suggests that refusing to forgive others ultimately harms oneself. Holding grudges and harboring resentments can be emotionally and mentally detrimental, leading to a strained relationship with the person you cannot forgive. Furthermore, it creates obstacles and barriers in one's own personal growth, preventing the individual from moving forward in life. Therefore, forgiveness is not only about repairing relationships, but also about promoting one's own wellbeing and inner peace.
