Unspoken Forgiveness
When I was a little girl, I used to get into a lot of trouble. The worse thing I ever did was hit my best friend with a basketball in the face and knocked her tooth out. After that we didn't talk for months. She would constantly ignore me whenever I said hi to her, or walk past me and stick her tongue out at me whenever I walked by her. I remember feeling so alone; but one day she started talking to me again like nothing ever happened. I realized she had forgiven me without really saying it; it was Unspoken Forgiveness. Just like I had been forgiven for me wrongdoing against my friend, the townspeople had forgiven Hester for her sin. I feel like unspoken forgiveness is something that comes with time and it shows that people can have a change of heart too. Sometimes in order to forgive someone you need to Let It Go. Sometimes forgiveness doesn't have to be verbal, it can be seen in the way you act and treat someone. Just like my friend started talking to me, the townspeople started to accept Hester because they saw all the good that she was doing. People saw that Hester was trying to make up for her sin and believed that God had finally found his way to her and was leading her toward the path of righteousness. To be honest, I think the townspeople were tired of being mean to Hester and realized that they were wrong to have judged her has harshly as they did. Now they're finally making up for it by being nice to her and not avoiding her like the plague. That is all, now goodnight!
