-Alan Paton
What this quote is trying to portray is that in order to move on from an injury that was done to us then we must forgive the person who cause the injury otherwise you will never move on. When you forgive you feel better because you are letting off a wave of guilt. For example, let's say that you are taking a walk with your friend. Then you end up getting robbed. You contact the police and the robber is taken into custody. You think you will be fine because the robber is behind bars and he can't do anymore harm to others but by thinking that you are causing more harm to yourself. You decide to go visit the robber and forgive for what he did. This changes you because you learned that forgiving is the key to moving on and having a better life. With your act you have shown that by giving him your forgiveness he can change and become a better person because you are giving him a reason to. In order to have a happier life you must learn to forgive and forget because pain is in the past and you must go past it to more forward. The more you look towards the past the longer it's going to take you to keep moving forward.
