"When we say we understand something, but we do not experience it, we do not understand it. Understanding and experiencing are the same thing. For example, we may say: I understand the importance of forgiveness BUT I can't do it. Firstly, replace 'I can't do it' with:I am choosing to remain in the state of being of ignorance (misinformation), because I believe it to be the best option I can choose from.Secondly, replace 'I understand the importance of forgiveness' with:'I do not understand the importance of forgiveness'. Being honest with oneself is the first step to self-understanding."
