When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.

  • -- Lewis B. Smedes 刘易斯·斯梅德斯

当我们原谅罪恶时,我们不会原谅它,我们不会容忍它,我们不会扼杀它。我们直面邪恶,不管它是什么,让它的恐怖震撼、震撼、激怒我们,只有这样我们才会原谅它。
