"So many of us continue to harbour ill feelings, bitterness and hatred towards others many years after these feelings should have emotionally resolved themselves. At worse, such feelings can emotionally disturb one and even at best, while such feelings remain in one's body, that person will never be able to move on with their life and to get the most out of new experiences. We can all learn from the wisdom of Nelson Mandela who remarked in his writings upon his years of imprisonment, 'As I walked out the door toward my freedom, I knew that if I did not leave all the anger, hatred and bitterness behind that I would still be in prison.' Here is one of the most respected and wisest of all humans still alive, who transformed his life of violent participation through the path of peace and forgiveness." William Forde: March 27th, 2013.
