Forgiveness is not a matter of exoneration to people who have hurt you. They may not deserve exoneration. Forgiveness means cleansing your soul of the bitterness of ‘what might have been’, and ‘what didn’t have to happen.’ Someone has defined forgiveness as ‘giving up all hope of having had a better last.’ What’s past is past and there is little to be gained by dwelling on it. There are perhaps no sadder people then them and women who have a grievance against the world because of somethi9ng that happened years ago and have let that memory sour their view of life ever since.” ~ ❤ ~ Rabbi Harold S. Kushner
