This I Believe 1 (Finding Freedom In Forgiveness By Ronald Cotton, Jennifer Thompson- Cannino)

 
              To begin with in This I Believe a woman was raped, and an innocent man was sent to jail although they were both victims they still lived with either remorse or hatred for a while. The woman identified the wrong man as her rapist but at that moment she did not know that it was the wrong person, this caused the man to go to jail for eleven years. Within time she found out that she chose the wrong person and felt so guilty for what she had done, meanwhile the innocent man had plenty of time to think in his cell although he was very angry while being in jail he forgave her. He states that he understood her the fact that she was suffering, but that she was not the only one suffering he suffered as well as in missing his freedom but not only that his family too. The man decided to forgive her because he wanted peace in his heart he did not want to keep living the way he was, the woman was healing and learned from the man how to let go of the pain she felt. They became friends and also a new person in the way they healed their self.
