M. L. Steadman. Light in the ocean (№ 191213)

I can stay in the past and poison your existence with a hatred for humans for what they did, as did my father, or to forgive and more to forget all about them.
But it's so hard!
- No, my joy, on the contrary, it is much easier. You have to forgive just one single time. And the hate needs to feed constantly, from day to day. You need all the time to remember all the bad that was done.
