9:33 It does not necessarily mean restoring of relationship. Although, it helps free oneself from anger/bitterness/resentment.
10:00 Society sees:
Justice as Retribution.
Vengeance is not Justice.
Mercy is Justice.
We punish ourselves.
We consume ourselves with anger and hatred.
Thank God, we can escape this/these hellish ways.
12:20 God can forgive.
13:13 “How can I condemn or judge anyone else?” I can’t. We can’t.
14:03 Learn to forgive. Don’t be selfish, don’t resent. Don’t keep reliving the harm in the head/the memory.

Forgiveness is recognition of struggle and suffering and need of prayer.
