"他人を許す方法は、自分をどれだけ大切にしているかの反映です。"
— Karl A. Menninger
Simplified Meaning:
When we forgive someone else, it shows how much we respect and care for ourselves. Holding a grudge or staying angry at someone can make us feel bad inside, like carrying a heavy weight around. For example, if a friend hurts your feelings, choosing to forgive instead of staying angry helps you feel more at peace. It’s like cleaning your heart out so you can feel happier and lighter. Forgiving doesn’t mean you forget what happened or let people hurt you again; it means you’re not letting their actions control your feelings. By letting go of anger, you’re showing that you think you deserve to feel happy and calm. This means you value your own well-being and mental health.
