resentment intolerance forgiveness

this week for me, as per what cainer says..

"Why do wars start? Why do marriages end? What causes conflict? What prevents peace? These, like all big, complicated questions, have simple answers. Problems of this nature invariably have just one cause. Intolerance. It is poisonous stuff. Indeed, intolerance is the only thing on this Earth that we have any real right to be intolerant of! But, if we are intolerant of intolerance, we only make it worse. Given the time of year and the spirit of the season, what can we do but be patient? No matter how justified resentment may feel, forgiveness is the only way."

hmm.. true.

how profound is the last sentence.. "No matter how justified resentment may feel, forgiveness is the only way." if only one can remember and internalize these concepts, and start applying them in life, it will make this world a happier place.
