As the great American writer Flannery O’Connor said, “Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe it or not.” My heart may be dark, but I choose to try to act according to what I believe, not what I feel. What happened on 9/11 was not OK. That’s why I need to forgive. Because I can’t be bound to that kind of evil. Lest it infect the evil in my own heart and metastasize it.
