“Forgiveness: I like it but don’t teach it. Why? I’d rather work on dropping my judgment of another person and their actions…and if I do that, then there’s nothing to forgive (only love is left). Forgiveness means we let go of our anger or hate (that is useful) but not our judgment (and the turmoil behind it). If I choose to drop my judgment and accept you (though I might disagree), love and kindness follow.”
