Many years ago my neighbor down the street was convicted of some unspeakable crimes. Standing before the judge at sentencing he was asked why should I have any mercy on you? You have ignored the law and destroyed many lives to commit your sick acts of desperation. But worst of all you seem to show no remorse! The neighbor answered “I’m not that bad, you should meet some of my friends, their the real criminals, It’s their fault I’m this way”. The judge sentenced him to death.
Time passed and after all his appeals were exhausted, the night before he was to be executed a visitor came to visit him in his holding cell. The man asked him “what is it that you want more than anything”? My neighbor answered him, I have had much time to think since I came here 11 and half years ago, since then I’ve realized I was so wrong. I don’t deserve to live. I wish I could go back to the past and change my steps. I wish I could give up my life in place of the one’s I destroyed. I wish …. I wish I could start all over again but it’s too late for that now.
Then the visitor flashed a set of keys and opened the door and said, “Go free”. “But why…why would you do that for me” asked my neighbor? The visitor answered “Believe me, You are my child and I love you, go tell your neighbors what I have done for you and show them the same”. Then my guilty neighbor stepped into freedom. The next day the innocent visitor was executed in place of the guilty prisoner.
