"Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive
our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive
people we love. Like all of life's important coping skills, the
ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentment most likely
take root very early in our lives"
-Mister Rogers
