To understand is to forgive, even oneself. – Alexander Chase 

• Do we understand why the person who irritates you acted in that fashion?
• Do we understand why we got irritated, what was it exactly? 

With deeper, below the surface understanding we can truly know another, their real motives. With careful observation we can also uncover our own tendencies and motives. We can then be forgiving towards one and all, including ourselves.

Not being able to forgive is the biggest hurdle to living a spiritual and peaceful life!
