Summary

This quote emphasizes the power of forgiveness, even in the face of wrongdoing. It suggests that if a friend hurts you, you can still choose to forgive them for their actions towards you. However, it highlights that the real harm lies in what they have done to themselves and their own character. By forgiving them, you acknowledge their self-destruction and make them aware of the consequences of their actions. Ultimately, the quote encourages forgiveness as a way to guide someone towards self-reflection and growth, rather than holding onto resentments.
