Meaning
This reads as an argument that forgiveness is less about excusing harm and more about changing the person who was hurt. It points to empathy and compassion as practices that reshape your response to injury, so the act becomes a kind of inner repair. It lands when someone is deciding whether to hold on to resentment or try to move forward with dignity.
