1
00:00:00.075 --> 00:00:05.335
Justice, injustice and forgiveness
all fit together in this way.

2
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.156
When we've been treated unjustly

3
00:00:08.181 --> 00:00:10.954
and something that was permanent

4
00:00:10.979 --> 00:00:15.290
let's say there's a murder
of someone's child,

5
00:00:15.315 --> 00:00:17.435
you cannot reverse that.

6
00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:22.329
But what you can reverse is
the effects of that on you

7
00:00:22.354 --> 00:00:27.010
and on your relationships,
on your family.

8
00:00:27.035 --> 00:00:29.268
One cannot bring the child back.

9
00:00:29.293 --> 00:00:33.558
But what someone can do is
get rid of the resentment

10
00:00:33.583 --> 00:00:37.259
that can lead to depression,
anxiety and hopelessness.

11
00:00:37.291 --> 00:00:43.058
Because forgiveness targets
that particular malady

12
00:00:43.083 --> 00:00:47.096
if you will which is a resentment
that won't leave.

13
00:00:47.121 --> 00:00:52.767
Also when a person begins to
exercise the virtue of forgiveness

14
00:00:52.792 --> 00:00:55.885
they realize that
there are many virtues

15
00:00:55.910 --> 00:00:57.647
that are worth appropriating.

16
00:00:57.672 --> 00:01:00.424
There are many virtues
that are worth developing

17
00:01:00.449 --> 00:01:05.216
and people naturally tend
to bring justice alongside

18
00:01:05.241 --> 00:01:07.138
the quest for forgiveness.

19
00:01:07.163 --> 00:01:11.013
You see forgiveness
is not a weak response.

20
00:01:11.038 --> 00:01:15.531
You stand in the pain and give
goodness to the one who hurt you.

21
00:01:15.556 --> 00:01:16.922
And at the same time

22
00:01:16.947 --> 00:01:19.992
you ask something
of the one who hurt you.

23
00:01:20.017 --> 00:01:22.500
You cannot reverse the injustice

24
00:01:22.532 --> 00:01:25.664
but you can ask
for justice going forward

25
00:01:25.689 --> 00:01:29.709
and be healed of that
which literally can kill a person.
