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

Alan Paton

Forgiveness is very important. When you forgive you open yourself to the process of healing. In order for one to heal or recover or what ever else you may call it you MUST first forgive. You will grow and you will help others around you grow and heal too. Forgiveness, 11 simple letters, 1 word, a very hard action. Forgiving is very hard to do because you always want to hang on to revenge, or you will always be out to hurt the person who hurt you. Thats dumb though, there is such thing as karma that will get back 10x worse and if you don't forgive, let something go you'll just make yourself miserable. A great example of forgiveness was the one  you gave in class. It shows how she forgave the man and they both grew as people, they both got good outcome from it, most importantly they both forgave and had peace. If she wouldn't have forgiven him, they wouldn't have been able to grow, would probably hate themselves, would be depressed etc. But she forgave and now they get to help others from committing the mistake he made. They got a positive outcome of a negative situation. You forgive and you grow, let it go, but you never forget. Everything happens for a reason and no matter what everyone has a purpose in this world.
