Don't get me wrong...I do not think that forfiveness is an automatic thing and I do not want to minimize the pain that people experience. Forgiveness does not absolve the guilty parties of what they did. Forgiveness is a choice. Although I still think (and from further conversations) that there is a lot of resentment and anger, I think the fact that this man realizes the importance of forgiveness speaks words, and that is what had an impact on me.
