“We can carry the burden of hurt throughout our lives. We can make the hurt that we have experienced the defining aspect of our stories of ourselves. That means that somebody else gets to say who we are, somebody else gets to decide how we feel, and somebody else gets to decide how we see the world. Forgiveness not only frees us from the burden of someone else's opinion of us, but it allows us the opportunity to really write a story of ourselves that we can love, enjoy, relish, and live into.” WorldFeelsWritingMeanStoriesOpportunityEnjoyHurtOpinionOur LivesAspectBurdenWho We AreDefiningRelish Author:Desmond Tutu
