[quotation]
“Forgiveness is like the martial arts of consciousness.
In Aikido and, other martial arts, we sidestep our attacker’s force
rather than resisting it. The energy of the attack then boomerangs back
in the direction of the attacker. Our power lies in remaining nonreactive.
Forgiveness works in the same way. When we attack back, and defense
is a form of attack, we initiate a war that no one can win.”
