GOODNESS

‘for me that simply means seeing the good in a person despite all their faults. it’s got something to do with lenience. you have to be lenient in order to forgive. i think that goodness is a decision from the heart. being good isn’t fake. that reminds me of my court hearing, the sentence could have been much harder, but the judge set the minimum sentence and i realised then that he saw the good in me, he didn’t just want to lock me away. i experienced that as goodness.’
