Summary

This quote suggests that forgiveness is a powerful and beautiful act, comparing it to the sweet fragrance that a violet releases when it is crushed. Just like the violet forgiving the person who has harmed it, forgiveness provides a sense of grace and healing. It emphasizes the notion that forgiveness is not only beneficial for the one being forgiven, but also for the one who extends forgiveness, as it allows both parties to move forward and find peace.
