When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

Reflection:

This quote can be interpreted many ways. I interpret it emotionally rather than physically. Everyone makes mistakes that have affected a person negatively. The person could’ve stayed mad at the other person but they can’t hold a grudge forever. If they really want to get better they have to be able to accept what happened and forgive the person. But because they forgave the person it doesn’t mean they have to talk to them ever again. The thought that you don’t have to hold a grudge against them will let you be in peace. In order to recover from that injury that really affected you, you have to be able to forgive them.
