“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”    - Alan Paton

What this quote means is that when you forgive someone for what they've don't you you you feel much better. Let's say that you were hanging out with your friend but you need to get home and it's night time suddenly a drunk driver was driving recklessly and his both of you. You end up in a hospital with an injury and you're friend is gone . You are now mad and upset the driver didn't mean to do what he did. It might take some time for you to forgive what he has done to you. But he is truly sorry and wants forgiveness. The only way to heal is by forgiving it's like a burden was taking off you and him.
