It is not the nature of love to force a relationship, but it is the nature of love to open the way.
William P. YoungI think one of the greatest losses to humanity was the domination of women. I think every religious system has found ways to be kind to them in a kind of subordinate way. Very patronizing, very colonial. But if you start looking at the fabric of society, even religious systems, they would fall apart if it wasn't for the embedded ability of the women who are involved.

When you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be established.
