Quote by Joyce Cary

To forgive is wisdom, to forget is genius. And easier. Because it's true. It's a new world every heart beat.

To forgive is wisdom, to forget is genius. And easier. Becau

Summary

This quote suggests that forgiveness is an act of wisdom, as it requires understanding and empathy. However, forgetting the pain or wrongdoing completely is an act of genius, as it is not only difficult but also signifies a fresh start with each new moment. It implies that holding onto grudges and past hurts prevent us from fully embracing the potential and possibilities that each heartbeat presents. Letting go of the past enables us to continually adapt and experience the ever-changing world around us.
