Forgiveness.

Overall, the citizens of the US are a compassionate group. We have been forced into positions where we have to work too hard and live with blinders on in order to focus on our immediate crisis.... Food, shelter, clothing, etc for ourselves and our families. That often draws a larger picture that we only care about ourselves but in my eyes it is an unfair painting. We are forced to do it. We are still compassionate.

In my own life I have completely forgiven people for some pretty heinous acts. I mean fully forgiven. What did each one of those people do? Admitted their sins, asked for forgiveness, and at least made an attempt to change.

Mr. Judge. Admit your sins and ask for forgiveness to those you have harmed. I’m sure through your treatment you have already seen an abundance of forgiveness. I think you will be surprised if you come clean, admit your sins, and ask for forgiveness. I will support you in that journey as will many of your loved ones.

Mr. Judge, a part of your hiding is probably based in feelings of guilt. That shows conscience, if I’m accurate. Give us the chance to forgive you. Put your demons to rest.
