"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive." - Alan Paton Forgive: to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake. I agree with this quote because it is best to forgive those who have done wrong towards us because you wont ever get past that grudge until you forgive. For example, if someone does something towards you to anger or hurt you, and you don't forgive them, then you will never get past it and it will just damage you. I forgive people when I feel like they are truly sorry and even if they don't  move past it because after a while it become irrelevant and unnecessary to be angry at them for so long. I also think its healthier to let things go because being angry takes a toll on you and on your body and on your mind.
