Question

I had the privilege to visit the Bridge of Forgiveness in Palawan during the time when I was on the summer’s team.

After the long and exciting week,we had a chance to  21  the place where we were assigned(指定).We  22  the narrow hanging bridge made of two bamboos and a long rope which you can hold  23  for your life as you cross it. I was so afraid of  24 , especially here ,and I think most of us were not  25  to crossing so high a bridge  26 ,our team leader told us that we must cross this bridge in order to see the splendid falls that lie out on the other  27 .

“As you cross this bridge,think about  28  difficult,but it is possible”.

Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is  30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be  31  through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others.

I didn’t understand my cousin  32  she told me I should  33  all those unfriendly guys with  34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past  35  and guilt will not serve me well.

Once I forgave serious  36  ,I noticed that I couldn’t forget them but every time I remembered them, I  37 . There aer no more pains brought just by the thought of them.

After all,life is good   38  all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be   39  in facing and adversity（逆境）while at the same time it makes me  40  to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.
