Suppose your son misbehaves towards you, or your father one day in his anger is unduly severe to you, it is not great virtue to forgive them. Suppose a brother of yours does you some harm and you say. “Never mind, you are my brother, I let you go,” there is no great virtue in that. The difficulty is when you have to forget the sin of your enemies. It your Dayady who has always hated you, does you some fresh injury and you forgive that, then it is a real act of forgiveness.

They are not to be tabooed but tamed and assigned their proper place. They become dangers only if they become idols.
