Question

I firmly believe in the power of forgiveness and I have got a lot of pleasure from it.

Last year, I was at the traffic lights on my way to work when my car was hit from behind. After , a flustered (驚慌失措的) young man admitted it was his and apologized to me again and again. After that, he why he had not been “in the moment” while driving. He told me that his had just run out and promised to pay for the damage to my car later. I could his real stress, and as he gave me his details and promised to find a way to pay, I tried to him and told him not to worry too much.

When I got to work, my urged me to contact my insurance（保險） company and chase the young man for compensatory（賠款） payment immediately，as I wasn’t with him and knew nothing about his work or family. The same thing happened when I told my sister what had happened and she firmly told me not to let him get away it. She knew that I only had a small amount of money in the bank and was that I would not chase the young man for payment.

With everyone pressuring me to ask for payment, I was unsure about what to do. I finally decided to a small second-hand car. After about four months, it was coming up to Christmas and I started to think about how this young man might be feeling, waiting for me to “sting ” him, so I finally made a and sent him this note:

“ Hi Joe,

A few months ago you the back of my car. I have managed to pick another car, so I have been able to get around. I want to let you know that I am not going to _ any payment from you. If in future you could help else out, that would be great.”

After sending it, I felt that a great weight had finally been lifted from my shoulders. It wasn’t until then that I _ _the act of _ could make one feel happier.
