“Forgiveness does not require us to close our eyes but rather to truly open them.”
“Forgiveness is the real strength in us all. Once we give up the need to be right, we discover freedom. Forgiveness is freedom. Forgiveness comes from our highest self. Once we can open our hearts and forgive, we move to the next level of who truly are.”
“How pleased we are to have our eyes opened but how easily we close them again.”
“When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said "Let us pray." We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.”
“The only way to truly be safer, was to accept the dark, to walk in it with eyes wide open, to be a part of it. To keep your enemies close.”
“Forgiveness requires a sense that bad behaviour is a sign of suffering rather than malice.”
