When is enough enough?

An experiential witness from Nigel Norie of Tottenham Meeting

‘Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity; but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it.   We are too ready to retaliate, rather than forgive, or gain by love and information. And yet we could hurt no man that we believe loves us. Let us then try what Love will do: for if men did once see we love them, we should soon find they would not harm us. Force may subdue, but Love gains: and he that forgives first, wins the laurel.’  William Penn, 1693
