Forgiveness is a transformative act because it asks you to be a more empathetic and compassionate person, thereby making you better than the person you were when you were first hurt.

Why wait to forgive and let go only after you have sufficiently wallowed in your despair? Why not forgive and let go now?

To begin to know ourselves we must have sincere conversations with ourselves as if with a good friend. We must answer without reserve, listen without judgement, and accept without condition. That is self-love.

May we always be burdened with thinking of the suffering of others, for that is what it means to be human.

If you can not forget, you can not forgive.

It is your ego that needs to explain itself. The self just is.
