“When we forgive, we take back control of our own
fate and our feelings. We become our own liberators. We don’t forgive to help
the other person. We don’t forgive for others. We forgive for ourselves.
Forgiveness, in other words, is the best form of self-interest. This is true
both spiritually and scientifically.”— Desmond Tutu and Mpho
Tutu, The Book of Forgiving: The Fourfold Path for Healing Ourselves and Our World (2014)
