“To understand everything is to forgive.”
— Alan Watts
Simplified Meaning:
Understanding something deeply helps us forgive others. For example, if a friend is rude to you, it might hurt. But if you find out they had a tough day or are facing personal problems, you might feel more sympathetic and less angry. When we see someone's reasons, it becomes easier to let go of our anger and forgive them. This idea can be used in everyday life by taking a moment to consider why someone acted the way they did before reacting. This thoughtful approach can improve relationships and create more compassion in the world.
