The power of forgiveness is for our own good. By staring into her son’s murderers face she could see the consequences of what her anger could cause and the grief she could add to the world. It is our own selves that we harm when we can’t forgive.
How awesome is it that this event made world news. The world is thirsty for a good gesture.
It takes a lot of energy to keep a room dark, but only one flame to light it up. The power of love, peace, forgiveness goes so much further than darkness.
