We are bound to forgive others, and to believe that God forgives us; but it is not so often said that we must forgive ourselves. It is easier to forgive others than to forgive oneself. Karl Jung wrote, “What I do to the least of my brothers and sisters I do to Christ. But what if I should discover that the least among them all, the poorest of all the beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, the very enemy himself—that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness—that I am myself the enemy who must be loved—what then?”
