Dalai Lama Quote on Forgiveness

FORGIVENESS
IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE
CONSTRUCTIVE
IF PEOPLE TRIED TO
UNDERSTAND
THEIR SUPPOSED ENEMIES.
LEARNING TO FORGIVE
IS MUCH MORE USEFUL
THAN MERELY PICKING UP
A STONE AND
THROWING IT AT THE OBJECT OF ONE'S ANGER,
THE MORE SO WHEN
THE PROVOCATION IS EXTREME.
FOR IT IS UNDER THE
GREATEST
ADVERSITY THAT THERE EXISTS THE GREATEST POTENTIAL
FOR DOING GOOD, BOTH FOR ONESELF AND OTHERS.
