The true value of life
The essay, The True Value of Life, made the biggest impact on me. I can't imagine myself empathizing with anyone who was in jail for drunk driving, especially if I was injured because of what they did. If I had to live with chronic pain everyday, I could not even imagine myself forgiving the person who caused it. But after hearing and reading some of the reasons that helped her forgive him, I got a new perspective on forgiveness. I can kind of understand how she was able to forgive, but I don't think I would ever be able to forgive him, if I had been put in her situation.
Just the fact that you took the time to read about why she chose to forgive is a step in a positive direction :o)
