we must still dare to believe. to all of you tonight who feel let down by your parents, i ask you to let down your disappointment. to all of you tonight who feel cheated by your fathers or mothers, i ask you not to cheat yourself further. and to all of you who wish to push your parents away, i ask you to extend you hand to them instead. i am asking you, i am asking myself, to give our parents the gift of unconditional love, so that they too may learn how to love from us, their children. so that love will finally be restored to a desolate and lonely world. shmuley once mentioned to me an ancient biblical prophecy which says that a new world and a new time would e, when amp。quot。the hearts of the parents would be restored through the hearts of their children.amp。quot。 my friends, we are that world, we are those children. mahatma gandhi said: amp。quot。the weak can never forgive. forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.amp。quot。 tonight, be strong. beyond being strong, rise to the greatest challenge of all amp。ndash。 to restore that broken covenant. we must all overe whatever crippling effects our childhoods may have had on our lives and in the words of jesse jackson, forgive each other, redeem each other and move on. this call for forgiveness may not result in oprah moments the world over, with thousands of children making up with their parents, but it will at least be a start, and weamp。39。ll all be so much happier as a result. and so ladies and gentlemen, i conclude my remarks tonight with faith, joy and excitement. from this day forward, may a new song be heard. let that new song be the sound of children laughing. let that new song be the sound of children playing. let that new song be the sound of children singing. and let that new song be the sound of parents listening. together, let us create a symphony of hearts, marveling at the miracle of our children and basking in the beauty of love. let us heal the world and blight its pain. and may we all make beautiful music together. god bless you, and i love you.
