Ghandi & the Way Out

“The weak can never forgive. 
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
Gandhi

I will never, ever forget that scene in the movie "Gandhi."  A Hindu comes to Gandhi and says, "I am in hell.  I smashed a baby against a wall.  He was a Muslim."  Gandhi replied without enunciation--"I know a way out. Find an orphan.  A Muslim...and raise him."   That's forgiveness by stepping into an other's world to care, really care!  I think this is what Gandhi meant when he said that "forgiveness is an attribute of the strong."
