Foregiveness is the key to action and freedom..... Hannah Advendt quote?

Question

What do you think she means?

Answer 1

Quite so, within discrete limits, though.

Answer 2

I agree

she is saying if you forgive, for example the person who hurt you, you will then feel free which then feels you have taken action by moving on

Answer 3

I am agree with her,but not that way it's happening now,some mad people killing Innocent people for no reason,do you think,is it good reason to forgive them and what freedom we get,..DEATH.I am not that saint to for give them.

Answer 4

Yes I beleive you can forgive... which is your key to action...

but from experience how can you ever be "free" because you never forget??? do you

all you can do is forgive to let yourself move on.!!

Answer 5

Very true, freedom that gives peace of mind.

Answer 6

I beleive it means that if we don't let go and try to camp around a wrong doing or hurt, that we just get held back by our bitter feeling,,the only one that hurts is yourself....once you forgive someone,,they do no longer have power over you or your feelings....and you can move on them and be free to live your life...don't let things that happen to you make you bitter,,let them make you better.

Answer 7

Forgiveness is for your own sanity no the perpetrators.

Hate and non-forgiveness eats the holder from the inside destroying them but causes little or no reaction from those it is aimed at.

Answer 8

Hi it means u can't move on with your life unless u can forgive Hugs
