Forgiving Ourselves
Forgiving and Asking Forgiveness: Sound Bytes for the High Holidays 5777
Rebbe Nahman of Bratzlav, Likutei Mohoran, Sec. 282
Know this: you must judge every person favorably. Even for a completely wicked person, you must search for and find in them some small part which is good, that small part that is not wicked. And so you can judge them favorably by considering this small part that you have found. And by truly raising them up by this favorable judgment, it becomes possible that they will do teshuvah. …
So too, everyone must find [the good part] of themselves! … And by searching and finding in themselves some small part that is still good, thereby you can switch from judging yourself as guilty to judging yourself favorably, and can do teshuvah.
