A lot of people have told me in
the early days that I was crazy
2
00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.380
to forgive Paula Cooper.
3
00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:10.540
Many people in our
organisation we've been called
4
00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:14.100
crazy or they say
that we're saints.
5
00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:17.460
And I just read something
a couple days ago
6
00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:19.500
that Dorothy Day
from the Catholic Worker
7
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:23.220
said, "Don't dismiss us that easily.
We're not saints.
8
00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:27.220
So don't use that as an excuse
that we were able to forgive."
9
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:30.860
Forgiveness is possible
for all of us.
10
00:00:30.860 --> 00:00:35.660
And as a Christian that forgiveness
is what Jesus wants us to do.
11
00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:37.380
But we're kind of allowed
to pick and choose
12
00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.780
what we forgive and
what we don't forgive.
13
00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:41.980
Forgiveness should be habit.
It should be a way of life,
14
00:00:41.980 --> 00:00:46.540
a way of life to forgive, forgive, forgive,
forgive and just keep on forgiving.
15
00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:49.260
And it's a beautiful way to live
16
00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:53.380
because you don't have all that
anger and desire for revenge
17
00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:55.180
and that's what slows you down.
