To forgive and be forgiven, if it's the last thing I do, then in death's release I may find the peace that in life I never knew.
The possible redemption from the predicament of irreversibility──of being unable to undo what one has done──is the faculty of forgiving.

Both faculties depend upon plurality, on the presence and acting of others, for no man can forgive himself and no one can be bound by a promise made only to himself.
A lack of forgiveness is a waste of time and it's very enriching to forgive and move on but those are things that come with time.
