The Problem With Revenge Is That It

When You Give Up Vengeance, Make Sure You Are Not Giving Up On Justice. The Line Between The Two Is Faint, Unsteady, And Fine...vengeance Is Our Own Pleasure Of Seeing Someone Who Hurt Us Getting It Back And Then Some. Justice, On The Other Hand, Is Secure When Someone Pays A Fair Penalty For Wronging Another Even If The Injured Person Takes No Pleasure In The Transaction. Vengeance Is Personal Satisfaction. Justice Is Moral Accounting...human Forgiveness Does Not Do Away With Human Justice.

Forgiving Does Not Erase The Bitter Past. A Healed Memory Is Not A Deleted Memory.

My Wife Has Lived With At Least Five Different Men Since We Were Wed - And Each Of The Five Has Been Me.

Not Even God Can Make Something Fair Out Of What Is Intrinsically Unfair. Only One Thing Can Be Done. Something Must Break Through The Crust Of Unfairness And Create A Chance For A New Fairness. Only Forgiveness Can Make The Breakthrough.

We Attach Our Feelings To The Moment When We Were Hurt, Endowing It With Immortality. And We Let It Assault Us Every Time It Comes To Mind. It Travels With Us, Sleeps With Us, Hovers Over Us While We Make Love, And Broods Over Us While We Die. Our Hate Does Not Even Have The Decency To Die When Those We Hate Die-for It Is A Parasite Sucking Our Blood, Not Theirs. There Is Only One Remedy For It. [forgiveness]
