Forgiveness is a wonderful way of not only creating peace but also letting go of pride, which refuses to admit wrongdoing. Righteousness, defensiveness, arrogance, and pride are great enemies of peace. The simpler and more sensitive you become, the more you respect others and judge them favorably, the more you are keeping the true Torah and preventing harm from taking place. Nowhere is this more vividly manifested than in your relations with your family.
