Everything this quote mentions is very important in my opinion. It is stating that everything starts from character. Character comes from us, the people. If we want peace, we are the first step. If we have a negative attitude, only we (ourselves) have the power to change it and have peace within ourselves to later spread it and share it with the world. An example is having good character (being respectful, helpful and or caring, etc) will bring harmony to your home after you guys as a family have harmony, you will spread it and the nation will have order. If our nation has order there will be peace over all. Basically it is saying how peace all starts from character and how character comes from you. Us a people we have the power to spread what we want to the world to all the younger generations and to teach the older ones. If you really want peace you must learn to value your character and always have and show beautiful character. Dont scream, fight, cheat, smoke, etc because that will only cause hate within yourself and you will not have peace. If you don't have peace you will spread that negative energy and that will affect the world. Choosing the right being a ctr comes with good character if you are CTR you will have peace within yourself.

“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.
