“Forgiveness is the greatest form of revenge.”

[The above statement was given to Detective Stottlemeyer by a Nun on the
program Monk]

It rings particularly true, because when someone does something to us and
we hold onto it, the energy of their intent lies with us, perhaps even in
us. To forgive is to release the energy.

Energy never dies, it just changes form. So, to forgive is to release the
energy expended by “the other” thereby freeing it, allowing it to return to
its source.
