" Forgiveness is not easy. "I've heard people say that forgiveness is for wimps,' writes Marietta Jager. 'Well, I say then that they must never have tried it. Forgiveness is hard work. It demands diligent self-discipline, constant corralling of our basest instincts, custody of the tongue, and a steadfast refusal not to get caught up in the mean spiritedness of our times. It doesn't mean we forget, we condone, or we absolve responsibility. It does mean we let go of the hate, that we try to separate the loss and the cost from the recompense or punishment we deem is due...."
