Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of forgiveness in one's capacity to love. It asserts that those who cannot forgive are essentially unable to truly love. By forgiving, we recognize that all individuals, regardless of the extent of their wrongdoing, possess some good within them. Similarly, even the most virtuous people can exhibit moments of imperfection. Through forgiveness, we acknowledge and accept this duality, and in doing so, open ourselves up to the transformative power of love.

People often become scholars for the same reason they become soldiers: simply because they are unfit for any other station. Their right hand has to earn them a livelihood; one might say they lie down like bears in winter and seek sustenance from their paws.
