“Forgiveness is the sweetest revenge.” I saw this wonderful old saying again in a book recently. It got me thinking about all the times that I have been
31 to forgive others in my life and all the joy that it has brought me. One
32 stands out particularly well.
I was a young boy at a summer camp. I was having a great time and
33___ everything about it except for another young boy of my age. To say we didn’t
34 would be a statement that made the situation less serious than it really was. We spent most of the week irritating, insulting (侮辱), and picking on each other.
35 finally came to a fight on the next to last day of camp. We got into a fist fight which I lost.
36 older boys broke it up before I was hurt too much. I spent the rest of the day alone, refusing to speak andlost in my own
37 .
The next day my spirits were
38 when Mom brought the boys in our cabin some of her delicious homemade
39 . I was enjoying a few slices of it when I saw the other boy sitting by himself at the bottom of the steps outside. He seemed very
40 right then. I am not sure what moved me to do so, but I took my pizza down and
41 it with him. It made all the anger and pain inside me
42 . We became friends after that. I never got into another fist fight either. I had found out that sharing and forgiving were much more fun and a lot less painful.
Forgiveness is
43 the sweetest revenge. It can turn an enemy into a friend. It can
44 a heart from the chains of anger, hatred, and pain. It can open a soul to the sweetness of love and joy once again. May your life always be 45 of sweet forgiveness.
