00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.800
I mean, I learned
the most, to me,

2
00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:06.000
the most important lesson in life
was about forgiveness.

3
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.439
People said: "Wow, you know
if you can forgive

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:10.759
somebody who killed your loved one
then I should not be angry

5
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:12.439
and be able forgive
my next door neighbor

6
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.240
because he played
his music too loud

7
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.399
or had a party last night or

8
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.640
for driving down the road
and somebody cut me off."

9
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.839
You can go the rest day
and be angry at him

10
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:22.399
or you can forgive him.

11
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:24.000
But they're gonna go on
about their business,

12
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.879
that your anger is
not gonna hurt him at all.

13
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.760
It's only going to hurt you and
you've got to get rid of that anger.

14
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.240
And forgiveness will
get rid of that anger.

15
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:35.840
And we don't need to go around
being an angry society.

16
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.880
We need to be a forgiving,
loving society.

17
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.399
But I do believe that forgiveness

18
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.000
is maybe the most
important part of love.

19
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.719
Just the best thing that
I ever did was to beg God

20
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.920
for love and compassion
for Paula Cooper.

21
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.320
And you know,
it makes life worth living.

22
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.560
That's for sure !

I mean, I learned the most, to me, the most important lesson in life was about forgiveness. People said: "Wow, you know if you can forgive somebody who killed your loved one then I should not be angry and be able forgive my next door neighbor because he played his music too loud or had a party last night or for driving down the road and somebody cut me off." You can go the rest day and be angry at him or you can forgive him. But they're gonna go on about their business, that your anger is not gonna hurt him at all. It's only going to hurt you and you've got to get rid of that anger. And forgiveness will get rid of that anger. And we don't need to go around being an angry society. We need to be a forgiving, loving society. But I do believe that forgiveness is maybe the most important part of love. Just the best thing that I ever did was to beg God for love and compassion for Paula Cooper. And you know, it makes life worth living. That's for sure !
