Forgiveness is the oil of relationships.

Forgiveness is the oil of relationships.

Summary

This quote suggests that forgiveness plays a vital role in maintaining healthy and harmonious relationships. Just as oil lubricates the components of a machine, forgiveness smoothens the aspects of a relationship that may become strained or damaged due to conflicts or mistakes. By forgiving, individuals can release feelings of resentment, anger, or hurt, allowing the relationship to mend and move forward. Just like oil reduces friction, forgiveness reduces tension, and promotes understanding, empathy, and compassion between individuals, ultimately strengthening the bond and making the relationship more sustainable.
