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.
