Why are some things more difficult to forgive than others

Some things have greater impact on different people. It just depends how differently the scale of pain they caused throughout someone’s lives. Once something happens they don’t forget

some things mean more to some people. some things bring back other memories that make you angry which can, for some, create the feeling of anger towards the person who reminded you of that feeling. it also depends on who hurts you if it’s someone you don’t know that well or someone who you may expect it from it hurts more less than if someone you love and trust hurts you

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
