Assignment 19- Abby Shad

A piece of advice that has stuck with me for a few years now is from my father. He said, "you will never regret being kind, even when it is difficult." In difficult encounters with others, we often respond with the same bitterness as the other person. It is innately human nature to respond this way. But if you fight that instinct, you will become a more patient and understanding person in the process, as well as continue being a kind human. The same applies to situations where another needs your forgiveness. By being kind and forgiving, you can both move on. Withholding forgiveness, on the other hand, is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It simply hardens and rots your heart over time.
