"What is forgiveness? What enables people to forgive? Why do we even choose to forgive those who have harmed us? What can the latest psychological research tell us about the nature of forgiveness, its benefits and risks? This imaginative comic explores the key aspects of forgiveness, asking what it means to forgive and to be forgiven. Witty and intelligent, it answers questions about the health benefits and restorative potential of forgiveness and explains, in easy-to-understand terms, what happens in our brains, bodies and communities when we choose to forgive" --

Will add to quotes:
Forgiveness can be used to break the cycle of revenge, as it prevents survivors from using their victimhood to victimize others.


This book, published in 2018, uses an example of a Palestinian suicide bomber and I can't help but wonder what its opinion or example would be now.
