FORGIVE

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

What this quote means by Alan is that you will always feel angry, sad, mad but until you forgive that person you will be happy. This quote to me is to let people know that if they did something bad and you haven’t forgiven them yes they will pay for the consequences but you have to forgive to be happy and not always being mad, angry of the person. They choose the wrong but they will repay what they did. For example, if you do something bad to a person, and you don’t have time to save their lives or they passed away you will be responsible for the consequences and the parents will be upset, mad, and angry but you have a second chance to be forgiven. The only way you can feel better is to forgive. Forgiveness is like giving the person a second chance and for that person to do better and apologize, live a better life. You only live once and you will one day forgive that person even if you still are hurt inside. Forgive means to stop being angry, or resentful of toward someone for an offense, flaw, or a mistake. One day you may even say i should've forgiven that person because i live with anger, upsetness towards that person. After you have forgiven that person you will feel the freedom to live life the best and to have fun. If you are extremely hurt and you don’t know what to do forgive that person give that person a second chance to show that they were wrong about what they did but they have changed over what happen and it hurt them to it was a big mistake. Always forgive even if you are still hurt.
