Only restitution, forgiving yourself and others, compassion, repentance and living with dignity will ever erase the past.”

“When we understand our negative impulses and can see where they originated in ourselves, we can let go of them. When we do, self-esteem increases, and we are able to see ourselves more favorably.
Equally, empathy is the key to understanding and forgiving others. Through empathy we can comprehend their fears., their beliefs, and their needs. These will often be identical to our own. We can understand them even if we don't fully share their beliefs. We will know on a deep emotional level where they are coming from in their souls. To hate them is to hate ourselves; to love them is to love ourselves. The only sane course is to let go of hate.”

“People are fallible. People make mistakes. No one is impervious to mistakes. When we learn to be more forgiving of ourselves we will feel better about ourselves. We liberate ourselves from that internal conflict. This will lead to us also being more forgiving of others. We won’t be deflecting what is going on inside of ourselves on to others. We can be more forgiving of others.”
