Day 38 - Forgiveness Quote

Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Archbishop Desmond Tutu became a leading spokesman for the rights of black South Africans, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (1984).

As founder and head of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he is actively encouraging Forgiveness on a national scale.

Archbishop Tutu has witnessed extraordinary examples of its healing power as his nation struggles to recover from the tragedy of apartheid

He says:

"Forgiveness and reconciliation are not just ethereal, spiritual, other-worldly activities. They have to do with the real world. They are realpolitik, because in a very real sense, without Forgiveness, there is no future."

"Forgiveness is not forgetting an injustice done; it is the Understanding that allows us to set aside the Emotional Impact of that injustice pertaining to ourselves. When We no longer hold those Emotions, and have Understanding for the Person, We have Forgiven them. ~ MoonSinger
