It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes. It takes more gut and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own. ~Jessamyn West
It feels noble to forgive others their awful mistakes, but we are filled with guilt and shame when we realize they've caught us in a mistake. To take the focus off what we've done, sometimes we try to find something wrong with them. It isn't easy to claim our own mistakes...but it can be very freeing.
We can embrace the experience of being found out and see it as a gift to help keep us honest. It is one of those gifts that is so well-wrapped, we have difficulty recognizing it!
