Where Are the Limits of Forgiveness? To Forgive Does not Mean to Forget

The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) warned: “Do not hide your hatred forever, you who are not eternal yourself.” In his words there is a timeless ethical truth: Because man is a transient being in themselves, so should it be with hatred toward someone. It is not worth cultivating negative emotions in oneself, because they can only devour a person from the inside. So what is the remedy to overcome anger and desire for revenge within oneself? What to do to free ourselves from all the emotions related to hatred? Perhaps forgiveness is the antidote.
