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 pany. 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 hasnt 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 shortings doesnt 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. 76. What is the best title of this passage? (Within 10 words)77.
