“ It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what i know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant,while I was chained to a wall and being tortured. I realized, somehow, through the screaming in my mind,that even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It doesn’t sound like much I know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when it’s all you’ve got, that freedom is a universe of possibility. And the choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram
