Forgiveness.

Is that weakness?  Is it glory?

Acceptance.

Is that strength, or giving in?

Love.

Is that the fool’s end of the story?
Or where, for wisdom,
We must each
Begin?

(Inspired by the quote below / this prompt)

“Until we have seen someone’s darkness, we don’t really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone’s darkness, we don’t really know what love is.”
― Marianne Williamson
