Elder Marion D. Hanks of the Seventy:
"What is our response when we are offended, misunderstood, unfairly or unkindly treated,..? Do we resent, become bitter, hold a grudge? Or do we resolve the problem if we can, forgive, and rid ourselves of the burden?
"The nature of our response to such situations may well determine the nature and quality of our lives, here and eternally....
"Even if it appears that another may be deserving our resentment or hatred, none of us can afford to pay the price of resenting or hating, because of what it does to us" (Forgiveness: The Ultimate Form of Love," Ensign, Jan 1974,20,21.)
