Today, I'm going to talk about what is patience and forgiveness. What is the difference from the perspective of different cultures, different religions, and different philosophies? In general, forgiveness is something that is considered a good quality and we believe it is important to forgive.

Yes, there are similar things we can experience. But everybody has a different version. Why? Because everybody has mind, so the mind created this different version.
