no trainer training him 24-7 the way I was, where Cus wasn't capable of doing that at that point in his life. But then again, it's not poor Teddy. I get the benefit of a career. I get the benefit of knowledge. I get the benefit of a life. I get the benefit of learning, of becoming hopefully a better person. I get the benefit of being betrayed again. But

And when you realize that, somebody asked me, how did you get to the point where you could forgive, right? It's a pretty good question, pretty simple, pretty basic, pretty important, right?
