Quote

[Jeff]

"You've had so much strife but you're always happy. How do you do it?
"I choose to," he said. " I can leave myself to rot in the past, spend my time hating people for what happened, like my father did, or I can forgive and forget."
"But it's not that easy."
He smiled that Frank smile. "Oh, but my treasure, it is so much less exhausting. You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things."

"... we always have a choice. All of us."

Love this quote. It's very true, too, isn't it. Not always easy to practice, but true.

I underlined that part as well! One of my favorites of the book & sums up Tom's heart, which unfortunately, it seems numerous readers didn't like.
