Student Success Statement

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive”.
Alan Paton
To forgive we stop the hatred and disrespectful meaning towards something or someone. In this quote by Alan Paton he is referring to forgiveness. Alan Paton in the quote is addressing that forgiveness is the only way we can recover from a deep pain or injury feeling we may have. Forgiveness is a great way to remove such hate or weight from yourself. Forgiving someone will be a feeling of relief. Also, Alan Paton is addressing that forgiving is a great action to do. Forgiving is a way CTR can be expressed. Forgiving can help you heal and bring relief and happiness into your life and others too. No matter how bad the situation or how bad it made you feel, forgiving is the way to set yourself again to feel good again. Hatred and disrespect toward another is just a pain and weight on your shoulders. Choose forgiveness and you can avoid the negative.
A great example that can follow up this quote is the example shared with us. A video was shared, sharing a mother's victim of the deaths of their doctors of a DUI accident used forgiveness. The inmate who was charged for manslaughter and DUI was forgiven for what happened and was reduced the sentenced years. The mothers of these victims forgave this man for his mistake, even though it cost them their daughters. THeir point of view is, forgiveness is the right thing to do. The mother's use of forgiveness was their way of healing and avoiding weight and hatred on their shoulders.
