“Forgiving is not forgetting; it's actually remembering—remembering and not using your right to hit back. It's a second chance for a new beginning.”

Desmond Tutu

Simplified Meaning:

When you forgive someone, it doesn't mean you forget what happened. Instead, you remember the event but choose not to get revenge. Imagine a friend says something hurtful to you. Even though their words are still in your mind, you decide not to stay angry or to say something hurtful back. By doing this, you're giving your friendship a fresh start. You're letting go of the bad feelings so you can both move on and build a better relationship. Forgiveness gives both people a chance to correct mistakes and create a more positive future together.
