I believe that those who can’t be forgiven are those who are either
not aware they have done something wrong
or, refuse to admit they have done wrong.

Our deepest fear is not that we’re inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking [...]

I have a tape of John Vanier giving a lecture on CBC Ideas regarding the concept of Forgiveness. I have played it to death, and still I find what he has to share with us humbling, and very deep.
