Be generous with forgiveness.
Ernest Hemingway, in his short story ‘The Capital of the World’, tells the story of Paco, a young man in Spain who runs away from home. His father hopes he will return quickly, but that doesn’t happen. The shame, guilt and regret he feels prevents Paco from returning home to his father. Paco doesn’t know that his father has been searching for him ever since he left.
One day, Paco’s father puts an advertisement in the local newspaper of Madrid, El Liberal. It reads: “Paco, meet me at the Hotel Montana at noon on Tuesday. All is forgiven! Love Papa.” But Paco is a common name in Spain; and when the father approaches the planned meeting place, he finds 800 young men there all named Paco, all waiting for their fathers, all hoping for forgiveness
