“Isn't that what apologies are? Acknowledgment of guilt and shame. And the other person takes your wrongdoing and agrees to carry it and le t you be human again. That's why I don't believe weak people can forgive. What you're going to do when a weak person forgives you? They can't harm you, they can't take anything from you.

When people forget the reason they forgave, the forgiven forget to earn their forgiveness.”
