True Adepts Never Forgive Anyone
Forgiveness is a very important quality for those who have just begun their magical training. The more you advance along the magical path, however, the less relevant forgiveness becomes. When you reach adepthood, forgiveness has no relevance. Adepts never forgive anyone. This probably sounds absurd to you, and if so, that is a good thing. You understand that a true adept would be very mature, and you understand that forgiving is a mature activity. It only makes sense that true adepts would forgive others quite frequently. However, if you really analyze what forgiveness means, then it will be easier to understand why I can claim with a straight face that true adepts never forgive anyone. Forgiveness means letting go of your animosity towards those who have hurt you. In order to forgive a person, you must first feel animosity towards that person. However, since adepts never feel animosity towards anyone, they have no animosity to let go of, and therefore cannot forgive. In PME, Bardon
