Its not about losing. Its not about getting the upper hand. Its not about being humiliated. Forgiving liberates you. It puts your mind at peace. Forgiving is not to make one look good or sound good to people around you. It is work to actually liberate ourselves and gain peace.’ A nugget from Ghandi https://www.newmandala.org/voices-of-moderation-on-burmese-facebook/ 5/7
