Choices In The Past

I hear it in your voice how painful it is. A lot of folks have asked me that question. How do you soften people who have lost loved ones and lives? Perhaps I think my communication has gotten somewhat twisted, right? I'm not saying that because she killed your brother in an irresponsible choice she made, as I've made irresponsible choices in the past, but hers had an ultimate cost of costing somebody their life at a very young age.

My point here is I'm talking about low-custody inmates that are not murderers, that have not taken a life. I'm talking about your petty drug dealers, your white-collar guys who tax evaded. I'm not talking about taking murderers and putting them back into the street.

Now, I will say this. Take a book out of Charlie's wife's – take a page out of Charlie Kirk's wife's book. The most profound thing one can do is forgive those who have hurt them and taken something away from them.

You do that for you. You don't do it for them. And for me, I can say this for you, my friend.

You'll find a lot of peace in your heart. You don't need to care for them. You don't need to advocate for her, but you don't want to wish her ill.

I think the one thing I believe you, because I know who you are, is you want her to have dignity so she can remember how much hurt she caused you and your family due to her poor choices. But I do believe that deep inside, you don't need to cheer for her, but you want her to have dignity because at the end of the day, she's still a son of God. And as harsh as it might be for your heart to make that choice, you're a much better person for extending that grace.
