A friend wrote me an e-mail the other day. Her letter started with the usual greetings, but then turned sour (心酸的) as she began to the pain in her heart.
My friend doesn’t have a good relationship with her parents. she is an 18-year-old high school student, her parents, ______her father, are still trying to control her life. "Obviously I haven’t ______ the level of excellence they expect," she wrote, adding, "They’re never satisfied with what I do. And every time I see them, my confidence gets ____."
I understand my friend’s _____. I know what it’s like when people reject my ____ and insist I do what they ____. I know I have to give her a __ _, and I need to be careful not to____ fuel(燃料) to the fire. Still, I have to be honest, and try to give her useful _____.
I think she needs to find it in herself to offer her parents forgiveness. I don’t think many of us truly ____ the power of forgiveness. ______forgiving, we get angry, and that ___ is often reflected in our words and actions. We want those who have hurt us to be _____ in some way.
I still remember something that happened to me in high school. A friend said something _____ about me, and I didn’t say a word to her for months. Years later I _____ that although my actions seemed reasonable (合理的) at the time, my hurt feelings were not worth losing a good _____ . I regret that I did not forgive her.
The power of forgiveness is truly ____. Learn to forgive, and when you do so you’ll find yourself _____. And you can also set yourself free to experience peace and love.
