Need to forgive someone? Read this: 'Forgiveness is for imperfect people like us. It embodies grief and grace: honesty about the past, its joys as well as its heartbreak, and openness towards what lies ahead. It is about freeing ourselves from the chains of "what could have been" & embracing the grief of "what was." With her usual wit, the celebrated author Anne Lamott said, "Forgiveness is giving up all hope of having had a better past."

"Naming the hurt is how we begin to repair our broken parts." - Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Mpho Tutu, The Book of Forgiving.

'He who is a proponent of mere blind imitation and of setting aside the intellect entirely is ignorant; and he who is satisfied with the intellect alone... is deluded. Take care that you be not in either of these two groups, but be one who unites the two sources. The intellectual sciences are like foods, and the sciences of religious law are as medicines.' — Al-Ghazali (1058–1111) ✨ '#Science without religion is lame; #religion without science is blind.' — Einstein (1879-1955) #quotes #life
