More From Joyce Carol Oates

Once we have forgiven, however, we get a new freedom to forget. this time forgetting is a sign of health; it is not a trick to avoid spiritual surgery. we can forget because we have been healed. but even if it is easier to forget after we forgive, we should not make forgetting a test of our forgiving. the test of forgiving lies with healing the lingering pain of the past, not with forgetting the past has ever happened.
