Resentment or grudges do no harm to the person against whom

This highlights how resentment is a burden that constantly weighs on one's mind and heart, affecting their overall well-being and happiness. The quote serves as a reminder to release such negative emotions in order to find peace and live a more fulfilling life.

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God.
