“Without being forgiven, released from the consequences of what we have done, our capacity to act would be confined to a single deed,” says Hannah Arendt in her book “The Human Condition.” Any power that affects reconciliation is a very significant power.

All of us have flaws. All of us are afraid and feel that we have been treated unfairly. That is part of the human condition—but acting out anger to hurt others doesn’t have to be our default. buff.ly/8uGZneO
