"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we__________"

Student Success Statement

Forgive: to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake.

"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive." - Alan Paton 



What this quote by Alan Paton means to me is that when we get our feelings hurt by someone whether its through one of their mistakes, lies, or actions, we can never fully recover and live life until we are able to forgive those who caused us harm. We can never live with resentment because it isn't living at all. Instead we must live a life full of forgiveness because if we were in the same situation as those who hurt us, we would wish for forgiveness as well.
