FORGIVENESS: THE MANDELA PRINCIPLE by Rev. Victor H. Carpenter

Give Yourself Up by Rev. Kim K. Crawford Harvie, Arlington Street Church, November 13, 2005

Desmond Tutu said, β€œTo forgive is not just to be altruistic. It is the best form of self-interest. It is also a process that does not exclude hatred and anger. These emotions are all part of being human. You should never hate yourself for hating others who do terrible things: the depth of your love is shown by the extent of your anger."

"However, when I talk of forgiveness, I mean the belief that you can come out the other side a better person, a better person than the one being consumed by anger and hatred. Remaining in that state locks you in a state of victimhood, making you almost dependent on the perpetrator. If you can find it in yourself to forgive, then you are no longer chained to the perpetrator.”
