“The cut worm forgives the plow”
— William Blake

Simplified Meaning:
When a worm is cut by a plow, it doesn’t hold a grudge against the plow for hurting it. It simply accepts what happened and moves on. This can teach us how to handle situations where we’ve been hurt by others, especially when it wasn’t on purpose. For example, if your friend accidentally steps on your toe and apologizes, it’s better to forgive them rather than staying upset. People make mistakes, and forgiving them helps you let go of negative feelings and focus on more positive things in life. In this way, forgiving others can bring you peace and improve your relationships.
