Hope and forgiveness

The power of hope and forgiveness is a big challenge in our lives. It’s a big change that we have to make. It is hard to understand why sometimes it’s hard for our lives to accept our mistakes. Making decisions is hard, but if you think outside the box first you would probably know where your decision leads you and why it is hard to understand.

Today’s world is so messed up. People are tired of other people’s decisions. Our hope is to end the virus and that’s what is on our minds, and doing that too quickly would mean that we would be back in our own selfish ways again. I can tell you how many people are taking things seriously about what is going on outside the world.

We could be forgiven for our own self weakness, but it is our decision in making us prove to ourselves that our decisions are right.

We are home right now to prove to ourselves that this is easy, and one of the things I never even thought in mind, we are writing about. Because of the culture, it is important for us to learn something about how culture gives people hope and forgiveness, and also, how our life is surrounded by it.

We could be forgiven for assuming that it has always been the reason for remembering someone who passed away is for the comfort of the living they leave behind such as today towards death. People are dying because of what is going on right now. Doctors and Nurses see people dying in their hands, and they feel it is their fault.

Our decision to help the virus is why we are making decisions for life and why we are dying because of them. Our hope was to lose less live’s for another month or so, and spend more time with our loved ones. Then at the moment that you realize you are about to give up; you would wish that you did take it seriously.

Forgiveness is a really big struggle for many people. There are people like George Takei and Eva Mozes Kor who showed that forgiveness and hope can change ourselves and the people who have been forgiven can change their lives too.

I think these two people are remarkable and how they showed even the hardest moment and they bring people to have hope again. We all know World War II was the most unforgettable moment for most people at the time. It’s hard to forgive those people who are one of our enemies in the war.

Forgiving other people would help us in our lives, and gives us a new path. One of the reasons why these two people were important, is that they were so remarkable and they understand why sometimes we have to forgive the people who hurt us. They understand that people don’t have to be full of sorrow in their life.

These two people showed that we all have made a mistake, so why not forgive the people who did something to me? I think this is a very important thing that the world should know; that forgiveness is a second chance for us to bring a new life for others and for ourselves.

Together George Takei and Eva Mozes Kor look for common ground through faith and fight to save these people another change of life, and also to have free will.

They do this so that people could be the best version of themself again. This is a very remarkable story of two people who showed hope and forgiveness.

Eva Mazes Kor was one of the Jews American survivors of the Holocaust and founder of the organization Candles. In 1944. She forgives a 93-years old former Nazi who severed an Auschwitz.

George Takei and his family were forced into an internment camp for Japanese-Americans, as a security measure during World War II. 70 years later, Takei looks back at how the camp shaped his surprising, personal definition of patriotism and democracy.

For the most part why I think Eva Kor give hope in forgiveness; to a 93-year-old former Nazi who served at Auschwitz: How forgiving the Nazis has saved her life. “My forgiveness… has nothing to do with the perpetrator, has nothing to do with any religion, it is my act of self-healing, self-liberation, and self-empowerment,”….

she says. “I had no power over my life up to the time that I discovered that I could forgive, and I still do not understand why people think it’s wrong.”

“Kor says that when a victim chooses to forgive, they take the power back from their tormentors. But that is their choice to make.”

They’re so many reasons in our life why we choose to forgive the people who treated us badly. I think this is very special to her because not only she forgives a man who hurt her. She forgives herself too. Also, it helps her to understand why she might forgive a 93-years old man.

I have a right to forgive that man because there’s a person in her life before who has forgiven and she thought to herself why not forgive a 93- years old man?

She also forgives herself by forgiving a man who treated her badly. If you learn to forgive yourself you might have hope to forgive yourself.

“They can take a piece of paper and a pen and write a letter to someone who hurt them,” she says. “Please do not mail it to that person. It’s for you to know that you forgive, and you can go on with your life without the burden and pain that the Nazis or anybody else ever imposed on you.”

One reason I think why George Takei showed hope and forgiveness; the U.S. government interned George Takei and his family in a Japanese-American internment camp. Decades later, the actor describes his journey to forgive the country who had betrayed him.

I think he was trying to say to us no matter what people think of you and why, so different we have to learn to fight for what is right because there is nothing we could do if we tried to fight from them.

Sometimes we just have to have hope that someday things would be in the place we wanted. If we forgive the people we betrayed us they will someday understand why they are so important why we forgive them. George has hope for all of it.

“All men are created equal. And they went to fight for this country. They were put into a segregated all Japanese-American unit and sent to the battlefields of Europe, and they threw themselves into it. They fought with amazing, incredible courage and valor. They were sent out on the most dangerous missions and they sustained the highest combat casualty rate of any unit proportionally.”

Even when life was hard in his life he still had hope for his life and for other people who are good.

Even when life was hard behind bars he was still fined life to it by reading and by his father’s wisdom. Having hope behind his life he was still able to make a better opportunity to have a great life now because he had hope in all he went too behind bars at camps during World War II.

Then he forgives the people who treated him badly. He moves on with a fresh new life and to move on.

These two people help people with hope and forgiveness because like George he fined the way of hope behind bars in camp because of how Americans treated his family badly.

He fined everything from the people who are good and he finds that these people have hope. He forgives people who treated him badly and especially to his family.

Eva Kor gives hope in forgiveness to a 93-year-old former Nazi who served at Auschwitz. One thing I like about her is that I really like her saying “My forgiveness… has nothing to do with the perpetrator, has nothing to do with any religion, it is my act of self-healing, self-liberation, and self-empowerment,” she says.

“I had no power over my life up to the time that I discovered that I could forgive, and I still do not understand why people think it’s wrong.”

She was very right if you don’t forgive the people who hated you, who destroyed your life and you will never forgive yourself. If we forgive the people who have hurt us. We can even feel healing to it and you help those people who have betrayed you.

One thing I learned from these two articles, For any person who has been hurt by anybody and they don’t know how to forgive them they are just going to hurt themself I think learning to forgive others is to help you to forgive yourself.

If you learn to forgive them they don’t have to carry that hurt alone.

They have the power to say something really important to you. No one can give them that power to say you have been forgiven.

You have the power to say to them that they have been forgiven by their mistake. George I see to him was that we have still hope even behind bars and that hope would lead you to a new personality.

These two articles help with what is going on in today’s world is by taking the time to open our hearts and try to be the best version of ourselves possible.

Make the day count and open our eyes to the things we can’t see and let us face it.

Forgive the people who treated us badly. Have some hope for the reality of life and see the people who are in need and to open our self up to God.

Have hope and faith and forgive the people who you wanted to forgive now life is really short and they don’t know their own problems sometimes and they need more supervision.

If we tried to be the best version of ourselves now. We would be even more the very best version of ourselves now.
