[D]on’t cling to your self-righteous suffering, let it go. . . . Nothing is too good to be true, let yourself be forgiven. To the degree you insist that you must suffer, you insist on the suffering of others as well. (90)

[D]etachment means letting go and nonattachment means simply letting be. (95)

Letting ourselves be forgiven is one of the most difficult healings we will undertake. And one of the most fruitful. (79)

For God's sake, Larry, grow up. Develop a little self-righteousness. A lot of that is an ugly thing, God knows, but a little spread over all your scruples is an absolute necessity!

Forgiveness means letting go of the past.
