More From Friedrich Nietzsche

They say that when god was in jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing with him on the subject of the trinity. they say that god says to me, "forgive your enemies." i say, "i do;" but he says, "i will damn mine." god should be consistent. if he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. i am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. god is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. he certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be.
Hurt Men Forgiving
The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
Opportunity Mind Clients
Forgive yourself for not being the richest, the thinnest, the tallest, the one with the best hair. forgive yourself for not being the most successful, the cutest or the one with the fastest time. forgive yourself for not winning every round. forgive yourself for being afraid. but don’t let yourself off the hook, never forgive yourself, for not caring or not trying.
Successful Caring Winning
Forgiveness is an act of creation. you can choose from many ways to do it. you can forgive for now, forgive till then, forgive till the next time, forgive but give no more chances it’s a whole new game if there is another incident. you can give one more chance, give several more chances, give many chances, give chances only if. you can forgive part, all, or half of the offense. you can devise a blanket of forgiveness. you decide
Games Giving Half
I worry about fast forgivers. they tend to forgive quickly in order to avoid their pain. or they forgive fast in order to get an advantage over the people they forgive. and their instant forgiving only makes things worse... people who have been wronged badly and wounded deeply should give themselves time and space before they forgive... there is a right moment to forgive. we cannot predict it in advance; we can only get ourselves ready for it when it arrives... don't do it quickly, but don't wait too long.
Forgiveness Pain Order
Forgive a wife-slammer if you can. but you don't have to live with him. forgive a husband who is abusing your children if you can. but only after you kick him out of the house. and if you can't get him out, get help. it's available. in the meantime, don't let him near the kids, and don't let anyone tell you that if you forgive him it means you have to stay with him. [there's an important difference between forgiving a person and tolerating their bad behavior.]

Similar Quotes
If we say that monsters [people who do terrible evil] are beyond forgiving, we give them a power they should never have...they are given the power to keep their evil alive in the hearts of those who suffered most. we give them power to condemn their victims to live forever with the hurting memory of their painful pasts. we give the monsters the last word.

After such knowledge, what forgiveness?
Forgiveness Corridors
It's toughest to forgive ourselves. so it's probably best to start with other people. it's almost like peeling an onion. layer by layer, forgiving others, you really do get to the point where you can forgive yourself.
