A rich man, on his death bed, you ask that person, what does he want-he wants peace.
You know, a lot of those peace issues that the human soul looks for-it always comes
back to the people who've done wrong to you. Or your family. And you haven't yet had peace
yet. I want to be able to forgive them. A lot of people wait for an apology before they
even think of forgiving them. It's not about whether or not they ask for forgiveness, it's
about you letting go of your chains, those emotions that are attached to what they did
to you. If you can let it go, if you can forgive-and yes, I'm not saying just let someone abuse
you and forgive them. If you're being abused, get some help, find a counselor, be in a position
where you are safe. But I want you to know today that freedom of people doing bad to
you starts with you deciding to forgive.
