Forgive

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

-Alan Paton

In this quote we are seeing that to truly recover from an injury we have to learn to forgive. If we stay mad and vengeful our whole life, we will have had never truly recovered from that event. We seen an example of this moments ago when Mr. Haymore showed us a video that had a woman forgiving a man who had killed her daughter in a drunk driving incident. She stated that when she forgave him she felt free as if she had finally recovered from that event. The man also felt better when he was forgiven. He said that it had felt like all that guilt was finally taken off of him. Another example of this can be when a friend says something behind your back. At the moment you might feel like you have to get them back for betraying you will learn that is better to forgive than to get revenge.
