Are you running, or sleeping?

Some labor and struggle hard to earn forgiveness, but better than these is the man who forgets the wrongs done to him. Forgive quickly and you will be abundantly forgiven. To forget wrongs is to prove oneself truly repentant, but to brood on them and at the same time to imagine one is practicing repentance is to act like the man who is convinced he is running when, in fact, he is fast asleep.

It is important -- based on Christian doctrine -- that man forgets the wrongs done to him, and that man forgives and even loves those people who are responsible for these wrongs.
