A description of the experience
Tirrukural, the - Book 1 from Forbearance
151. To bear insults is best, like the earth
Which bears and maintains its diggers.
152. Forgive transgressions always, better still
Forget them.
153. The want of wants is to be inhospitable,
The might of mights to suffer fools.
154. If you would keep your goodness intact
Practise forbearance.
155. Avengers count for nothing, forgivers
Are prized as gold.
156. The avenger's joy is for a day,
The forgiver's fame lasts like the earth's.
