My my, that definantley was long. Interesting and worth it, however!
Was this handed in at school?
Ha, yes it was long, and horrable to write, as you know,
i have an idea and change it soon after... it doesn't work while trying to write a story. :P
Why was it worth it ??
Yes, it was handed in at school... :(

Whew...that was a long read...
Is this a true story?
I feel that despite anyone who is not a christian...forgiveness is the only solution for those who are sorry by their actions. When someone is sorry for what they've done...it's only appropriate to forgive them.
Holding on to those loses will only begat feelings of hate and suffering.
Physiologically, if we can learn forgiveness, we can feel better. On both sides...the victim and the offender.
But justice MUST be served to those who "only seek to hurt others". Some people literally "want to watch the world burn."
And they must be stopped.
But it's brave men like David...that despite his actions...despite how far he fell into the relms of evil actions...he was willing...he was comitted to try and rectify himself.
At first...he justified...he blamed Adam for killing him...if only he hadn't showed up I wouldn't have panicked and killed him...
Is that an unusual trait for most people? Seeking to justify by blaming others instead of themselves?
David's behavior is no different than many of us...it's just his situation and the circumstances of his life.
David was desperate...and desperation often leads to bad actions.
I believe that inherently...many of us want to do the right thing. We were born from God after all...
But somehow...by a key nature of survival...we attempt many things that seem unheard of. And we can lose ourselves and our humanity. We soon become selfish...only seeking justification and reward for ourselves.
A selfish and rather evil habit.
It first develops with the smallest actions. Greed, Lust,Coveting...
And many of us seek our own forms of Justice...and many of which is unfair.
I believe that "as long as we 'truely' feel sorry for what we have done...whether or not you believe in God should be a matter for forgiveness...as long as we know we've done wrong...we will be forgiven...maybe not by mortals...but perhaps by God.
it takes great courage, strength, and heart for BOTH sides...one to ask for forgiveness...and the other to give forgiveness.
