Would you forgive?

"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." -Mark Twain
This particular quote from Chicago Tribune can have many meanings; one of which is that while one might harm you or do lots of damage, there are always two ways to react: either forgiveness and spreading nothing but kindness, or be upset and angry your entire life. 
Forgiveness is a very powerful force. Thats what the father of a murdered muslim pizza delivery driver did to his murderer. Although most people would find such act very difficult, this mourning father was able to forgive the killer and only hoped for the best for him in his future life.
