What do you do when life throws you an unfair curveball? What do you do when you are actually short changed in life? How do you move on when those who were supposed to help mold you were the same ones who crushed you, trampled on you, and dared you to challenge their actions? Won't you be justified to permit the bitter taste of revenge to linger in your mouth long enough to give you the strength to fight even harder until you are able to finally get up on your feet, raise up the once-weakened hands and crush those who once crushed you? Or, is forgiveness, with its seemingly quiet and gentle nature, more powerful than the strengths of many oceans?In Redemption, the author, Taiwo Koyejo, described the life of a little girl, an orphan, b k , who grew up in a polygamous home in a rural village in the southwestern part of Nigeria and suffered immense abuse at the hands of her father's wives, and a dysfunctional father. b k , defied all odds by consciously choosing forgiveness in place of bitterness, and as a result found redemption when she least expected.
