Forgiveness

As every semester my students read The Scarlet Ibis by Hurst. The question of responsibility, fault and guilt of children is a prominent issue. It is an issue close to home for me.

Today I did something different. I called my brother to ask forgiveness for wrongs I had done him when we were kids. Not just to apologize, but to ask forgiveness.

The two are different.

The second one is more important.
