Antwone Fisher -Great takeaways from a great movie

Who will cry for the little boy, lost and all alone / Who will cry for the little boy, abandoned without his own"
"Who will cry for the little boy, he cried himself to sleep / Who will cry for the little boy, who never had it for keeps /

Who will cry for the little boy, who walked on burning sands / Who will cry for the little boy, the boy inside a man /

Who will cry for the little boy, who knew well hurt and pain / Who will cry for the little boy, who died and died again / Who will cry for the little boy, a good boy he tried to be / Who will cry for the little boy, who cries inside of me"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another great takeaway from the film:

Jerome Davenport: "Regard without ill-will despite an offense." That's Webster's definition of forgiveness.

~~~~~~~~~~

Basically he's saying there was an offense done to you, but you hold no ill will because of it.

You have completely absolved them of their offense in a sense.

True forgiveness then becomes harder to obtain when you understand its pure roots. Most people are still bitter but seem to forgive in open.
