“To understand is to forgive”
— Blaise Pascal

Simplified Meaning:
When you truly understand someone, it's easier to forgive them. Imagine a friend who snaps at you and is rude. At first, you might feel hurt or angry. But if you learn that your friend is going through a tough time, like maybe they're dealing with family problems or feeling stressed, your perspective changes. Knowing their situation helps you feel more compassionate and less angry. By putting yourself in their shoes, you realize their behavior wasn't about you, and forgiveness comes more naturally. This way, understanding others can mend relationships and make us kinder.
