Marion D. HanksNot only our eternal salvation depends upon our willingness and capacity to forgive wrongs committed against us. Our joy and satisfaction in this life, and our true freedom, depend upon our doing so.

Or was it to relieve the one aggrieved of the destructive burden that resentment and anger lay upon us?
