My neighbor Peter Gate’s life was shadowed for years by the memory of his part in an outdoor adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates.He and his wife 21 after six years of marriage.Then the news about Peter changed.His wife Betty came back; he 22 a fine position in a company.
One day he told me what had changed his 23 : I used to think, ‘Nothing can undo what I have done.’ The thought of my guilt(罪恶感) would 24 me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.It put a wall between my wife and me.Then I had an 25 visit from the person I 26 most to see —the 27 of the college classmate who died.“Years ago”, she said, “I found it in my heart, through prayer(祈祷), to 28 you.Betty forgave you.So did your friends and employers.” She 29, and then said 30, “You are the one person who hasn’t forgiven Peter Gate.Who do you think you are to 31 the people of this town and God ?” “I 32 her eyes and found there a kind of permission to be the person I might have been _33__her son had lived.For the first time in my adult life I felt 34 to love and be loved.”
So, you see, it is only through forgiveness of our 35 that we gain the freedom to learn from experience.But forgiving our shortcomings doesn't mean 36 that they exist.37 , it means 38 them honestly, realistically.39 you forgive, you cannot love.And without 40, life has no meaning.Forgiveness is a good quality.
