"Forgiveness is not the misguided act of condoning……" — Joan Z. Borysenko

"Forgiveness is not the misguided act of condoning irresponsible, hurtful behavior. Nor is it a superficial turning of the other cheek that leaves us feeling victimized and martyred. Rather, it is the finishing of old business that allows us to experience the present, free of contamination from the past."

— Joan Z. Borysenko
