Quote by Novalis

Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.

Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.

Summary

This quote suggests that poetry has the power to soothe the emotional scars caused by analytical and logical thought processes. While reason may guide us in understanding and dissecting various aspects of life, it can sometimes leave us feeling detached and devoid of deep emotional connection. Poetry, on the other hand, with its evocative language and vivid imagery, touches the heart and allows us to explore our emotions more profoundly. By delving into the realm of poetry, we may find solace, healing, and a renewed sense of emotional wellbeing.

...here also forgiving does not mean excusing. Many people seem to think it does. They think that if you ask them to forgive someone who has cheated or bullied them you are trying to make out that there was really no cheating or bullying. But if that were so, there would be nothing to forgive. (This doesn't mean that you must necessarily believe his next promise. It does mean that you must make every effort to kill every taste of resentment in your own heart - every wish to humiliate or hurt him or to pay him out.)
