“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forget.”

Alan Paton

      This quote means that whenever something wrong is done or something bad, nothing is ever healed completely until that one special word is said. I forgive you. That is all you need to say in order to recover from something bad that has happened. If you don't say that then you could live in anger and depression all you life. No one wanted to be that sad all their life so might as well so something good for everyone. One simple word can change everyone's feelings, emotions, and it could even affects someone life in a positive way. They will always remember the day they felt happy once more by just one simple word. “Forgive” is very important just like this quote because it shows everyone that you should forgive in order to recover. For example like this one video we watched in this class. It is where a guy was drunk driving and killed two girls. He was going to jail for 22 years until one special lady (one of the mother's daughter that died) said the magic word, forgive. She said a speech how they should cut the years in half and sent multiple letters saying why. When she did that she felt a sort of relief and happiness and now they are going to different high school explaining to never drunk drive and why people should forgive. Always remember when something bad has happened you should always forgive.
