Ok I'll bite. I can post a dozen or more truly inspiring acts of forgiveness, yet this one had resonated the most for me...Ok I'll bite.
Who has done far worse and have been forgiven easier than Vick?
One by one, those who chose to speak at a bond hearing did not turn to anger. Instead, while he remained impassive, they offered him forgiveness and said they were praying for his soul, even as they described the pain of their losses.
“I forgive you,” Nadine Collier, the daughter of 70-year-old Ethel Lance, said at the hearing, her voice breaking with emotion. “You took something very precious from me. I will never talk to her again. I will never, ever hold her again. But I forgive you. And have mercy on your soul.”
I understand that perpetrators of mass killings will be served the ultimate justice, yet who are you people to keep your knees on someone's neck after victims of far worse acts would so readily offer forgiveness?
