We all know we should not judge. We know judging others is usually unproductive — even when we are right. People are going to do bad things we don't like — even terribly hurtful things. {{If you try to hold people to your standard of conduct you will go mad with disappointment and grief.}} Forgiveness is not a magnanimous act of generosity and benevolence toward others. Forgiveness does not make you great, special or good. But f{F{orgiveness can help you to be sane.}} {{Through forgiveness you can be free of the tragedies and pain in other people's failures.}} **Source:** [[books/Simple Reminders Book (2014-2018)|Simple Reminders]] <!-- bryant-content-generator:end -->
