Martin Luther King Jr. “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love," Martin Luther King Jr. wrote in A Gift of Love.
MLK said: “Forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done or putting a false label on an evil act.” [9] It means, rather, that the evil act no longer remains as a barrier to the relationship. ... The degree to which we are able to forgive determines the degree to which we are able to love our enemies.
