To forgive is not just to be altruistic. It is the best form of self-interest

I'm reading HERD: How to Change Mass Behavoir By Harnessing Our True Nature by Mark EarlsĀ (great book so far.. the first 25% tells me it's going to be a strong MUST BUY on my list.)

Here's on life changer for me:

To forgive is not just to be altruistic. It is the best form of self-interest. What dehumanizes you inexorably dehumaizes me. Forgiveness gives people resilience, enabling them to survive and emerge still human despite all efforts to dehumanize them

I hadn't heard the Desmond Tutu quote before. Won't ever think of an injustice or wrong in the world quite the same way again.
