When I set myself free from illusions, I free others as well.

If I am unable to forgive, I am the prison guard of the one I am imprisoning. Perhaps the problem that is bothering me belongs more to the other person than to me. Or am I projecting my own past upon the other? Due to my annoyance, I turn it into my problem. Give thought to a situation in which you find it difficult to forgive. Realize how much you are being occupied with that situation. In this way you imprison yourself and the other person.
