forgiveness

Mother Teresa tells the poignant story of two men living in a home for homeless alcoholics who get into a fight. One injures the other badly, and the police are called in. The injured man refuses to give the name of his assailant to the police. When Mother Teresa asks him why he did not implicate the man who attacked him, the man replies: »His suffering is not going to lessen my suffering.« (Hazel Brown, in Unity magazine)
