A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile-zone， when a police car came behind him. 1

As the policeman came to him， he said， “Officer， I was in a rush to get home to be with my kids， my younger son wasnt feeling well when I left home this morning.”

The policeman said nothing and started writing something in his notebook. 2 A few moments later， the policeman came over to hand him a paper， and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man started to wonder how much this ticket was going to be. 3

“I had a daughter who was killed by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver like you. He got a fine—a few months in prison—and was free， free to hug two other daughters. 4 I have tried to forgive that man a thousand times， and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive him， but I have to do it again， even right now. 5 .”
