“Forgiveness is a personal choice and can never be forced”, says Auriela. “While in truth,” she continues, “nothing is unforgivable, there are things we as society and each of us individually have deemed unforgivable. The paradox of forgiveness lies in the fact that even they have to be forgiven if we are ever to have a chance at a life free from pain.”
“As we set ourselves free of the past, we can also inspire and bring hope to others. There is nothing our world needs more than compassion and understanding. No change can happen without forgiveness happening first. It has to start with us. As we heal ourselves, we can hold the light for others. And then the light will point the way.”
“Be the change you want to make,”
- Mahatma Gandhi.
