00:35
my friend anymore that's the thing when I broke  up with my girlfriend last year I didn't care much  
3

10240
00:45
but then I found out something my best friend  and my ex-girlfriend were dating and he didn't

00:54
tell me anything that's the problem with fought  and stopped talking to each other for a long time

until this week he came to my house and asked  me to forgive him and I don't know what to do
6
65400
9960
01:15
grandp I mean I don't think I hate him  but I still resent him I wonder should  
7
75360
10440
01:25
I forgive him my father says no because he was  not a good friend but my mother says I should  
8
85800
10560
01:36
do it and I don't know what to do should  I forgive him then I read something in a
9
96360
9720
01:46
book that we should forgive others for our  own good but I didn't get that idea very well  
10
106080
12920
01:59
that's why I came came here I know you have  a lot of experience in life situations like
11
119000
6680
02:05
this I understand I will help you  why you should forgive others for  
12
125680
9120
02:14
your own good forgiveness means different  things to different people but one thing  
13
134800
8720
02:23
we hear often is that forgiving others is  important to the healing process but why  
14
143520
10960
02:34
let's dive in forgiveness is an active  gesture of releasing anger guilt and
15
154480
9040
02:43
resentment all of which have a huge  negative impact on those who Harbor such
16
163520
10440
02:53
feelings forgiveness is linked to better  better mental health by reducing stress and
17
173960
9840
03:03
anxy and also lower in physical  ailments it has already been proven by
18
183800
8640
03:12
experts I know it is not easy it is  a difficult process that requires our
19
192440
10640
03:23
presence so if you ask me if you should forgive  your friend or not I could tell you yes do it  
20
203080
13240
03:36
but it is important to always tell them  that we were really upset they have to
21
216320
6600
03:42
know and you don't need to be friends again if  you don't feel comfortable with that believe
22
222920
8880
03:51
me but if his friendship is important  for you then you should try to reconcile  
23
231800
13320
04:05
yes I guess you're right I think I  will have to think about it I am not
24
245120
6280
04:11
sure and another question Grandpa  why do bad things happen to good
25
251400
8720
04:20
people my friend's mother is sick and  she's a really good person why does that
26
260120
10800
04:30
happen oh that's kind of difficult to explain  many people will tell you it's a part of some  
27
270920
10160
04:41
divine plan the truth is pain is not always  punishment and tragedy is not always part of  
28
281080
9080
04:50
some master plan sometimes bad things just  happen and there isn't anything anyone could  
29
290160
9440
04:59
have done about it we're given Free Will and  we make daily choices that affect our future  
30
299600
10040
05:09
and our experience in life when something  happens to you it may be tempting to think  
31
309640
8440
05:18
that it's God banishing you for something  but that is not always the case if you want  
32
318080
8240
05:26
to find happiness in life don't let pain  suffering Define who you are and your life  
33
326320
6920
05:33
some things happen in this world that has no  explanation and no amount of prayer will change
34
333240
6640
05:39
them what I mean is there are no easy  answers to why bad things happen to good
35
339880
9440
05:49
people but there are some questions that can help  you process your emotions when strategy strikes
36
349320
10160
06:02
that makes sense and is the  purpose of life predetermined from
37
362080
6280
06:08
birth I mean from the moment I am born  as my destiny being established I always  
38
368360
10400
06:18
think about it life is a journey and the biggest  questions of our lives are those we come across  
39
378760
10040
06:28
as we try does success mean the same thing  to everyone how do we find our purpose in
40
388800
8880
06:37
life are our talents predetermined at Birth  or can they be nurtured practiced developed  
41
397680
10280
06:47
and expanded is it possible to pursue a dream  that doesn't fit into society's predetermined  
42
407960
8760
06:56
norms or will it be impossible to achieve  success if we aren't willing to compromise our
43
416720
9920
07:06
values in the end there are no right or wrong  answers and the only thing that matters is  
44
426640
10040
07:16
that makes us feel fulfilled the extent of  how much we enjoy each day is determined  
45
436680
7400
07:24
by the happiness we derive from the things  we do if you want to find your calling you  
46
444080
8640
07:32
have to be able to distinguish between what  brings you Joy and what doesn't what I mean  
47
452720
7760
07:40
is life is short and the most important is  to enjoy all the moments we have if you're  
48
460480
9360
07:49
good at doing something it doesn't mean  you have to do it for the rest of your
49
469840
5800
07:55
life for examp example if you're good at  playing soccer but it doesn't make you feel
