For years Tom Anderson's life was withered(枯萎) up by the memory of his part in an outdoor
adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates.He and his wife separated after six years
of marriage.Then the news about Tom changed.His wife Betty came back；he earned a fine position
in a company.
One day he told me what had changed his life:I used to think, 'Nothing can undo what I have done'.
The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.It put a wall between my
wife and me.Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I feared most to see-the mother of the
college classmate who died."Years ago", she said, "I found it in my heart, through prayer, to________.
Betty forgave you.So did your friends and employers." She paused, and then said strictly, "You are the
one person who hasn't forgiven Tom Anderson.Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?""I looked into her eyes and found there a kind of permission to be
the person I might have been if her boy had lived.For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love
and be loved."
It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience.But
_forgiving_our_shortcomings_doesn't_mean_ignoring_that_they_exist.On_the_contrary, it_means_facing_
them_honestly, realistically.Unless you forgive, you cannot love.And without love, life has no meaning.
Forgiveness is a good quality.
