Quote by Martha C. Nussbaum

“We might say that there can be pity in its full-fledged form only where there is also mercy for self: for the self engulfed by a sense of its own utter blackness can never win through to a sufficient recognition of the sorrows of the other as other.”

“Forgiving others seems an easy task when compared to the trial of forgiving oneself, especially when the fault cannot be undone, and the consequences continue to mar the lives of innocent others. Regret, tears, and apologies do nothing to ease the guilt. Even the deepest, sincerest remorse will not erase the damage. How can he think to forgive himself under such circumstances? How can he bear even a moment of peace and happiness when the innocent feel none? It is unfair. It is wrong. It is why he will forever see himself as unforgivable.”

“Forgive yourself. So, you did a thing that you've named wrong, or the world has named wrong, or a loved one has named wrong. or some powerful dudes who compiled a book of parables and myths thousands of years ago named wrong. How entirely human of you. Own it all. Stand in the truth of it. Make the apology you need to make to close your own open wound. Do what you can to stanch the flow of blood in the others. And then be done. Listen to me, now. Your atonement was never intended to be a full-time job.”

“Who you are is not determined by what you wear, the money in your wallet, nor how you look. Who you are is simply determined by who or what you follow. If you follow money you will only seek after such, giving your all for it. If you seek after what they call, 'fun,' your life will be aimed towards finding a way to fame, or a new way to party. If you follow the Lord Jesus your life will be given to Him, and the hopes and dreams you have will be in pleasing Him!! Everyone follows someone or something. Who will it be? Choose wisely- you are important!!”
