Greatness releases anger toward those who harmed him as quickly as possible, because holding onto it costs him peace, focus, and energy while the person who caused it has likely moved on, and letting it go frees him to move forward with clarity and strength.
Greatness forgives quickly but never forgets what the experience taught him, because letting go of the emotion is how he moves forward and keeping the lesson is how he avoids paying for it twice.
Greatness forgives but still holds people accountable, because forgiveness frees him from resentment but does not excuse the offense, and a man who removes consequences teaches others they can repeat the behavior without cost.
Greatness forgives himself for past mistakes and refuses to carry guilt forward, because guilt keeps him tied to who he was while releasing it frees the energy he needs to become who he is capable of being.
