Student Success Statement: Alan Paton

“ When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”- Alan Paton

The significance of the quote is pretty clear to me. Some may not understand it, but i do. It talks about forgiving someone for the mistakes they do. We all get hurt in some point of our lives, and I admit, it feels like if the pain will never go away. It feels like a hole in your chest, gnawing away at your soul. You break down, and its okay to break down. I've learned from experience that when you keep those emotions inside, the feelings combine and come out in a stronger effect. You feel trapped inside, you ask yourself why it happened to you. But like i said it passes, and we heal. We must learn to forgive, we can’t keep feeling anger and hate inside of us. Its unhealthy for us, and sometimes we think that we have a right to feel hate, but you don’t. Because one day you will be old and you have not forgiven, it will still be inside you, haunting you.
