1. Brian has been wrongfully charged with murdering his wife. He has been sentenced to life in prison. His wife is dead, and the real murderer is still out there. Brian is only 25. You are a family member of Brian, and have been given some time to speak with him. What inspiring words of wisdom do you tell your wrongly accused family member?

Injustice cannot be stopped in a world that knows so little. I want you to think back to the day before she was murdered. Hold on to that thought. Now take a hard look around you. You're a man who has lost everything. And you have all the reason in the world to be angry. They took your life, and now, you have nothing. I want you to look at your options. With nothing, you can lose nothing. Your options grow more and more when you have less and less to hold on to. You have a long road ahead of you. Make use of your time. They will pay, and you will have your freedom back. And if you should fail, may you know for certain you sure as hell gave it your all. Your injustice will not be forgotten. Others will hear your story. You've become more than you ever could be. Yes, at a price, but isn't it worth it? Your story will bring society closer to the justice that needs be taken.
Every suffering is a seed, because suffering compels us to seek wisdom.

The son was severely depressed and suffered from a few mental disorders but the father is convinced he has failed his only son as a parent and blames himself for his son's death. What inspiring words of wisdom do you tell the father?

I often ponder, the living and the dead. Who really suffers? The living.. not the dead. Your son will never feel another ounce of pain. What suffering may have drove him to his death no longer exists. Your son is gone, but rest assure he no longer suffers.
As a parent, I know you would take any amount of pain, just to remove an ounce of pain off your children. You may not realize it yet, but you are the only one who suffers now. Your son needed to go, he has put his pains on you. Listen to me when I say this, your son loved you, and he knew what this would do to you. He knew he could give you his pain, and knew his dad could take it from him. Because he loved you. His pain was too great, and he knew that he had a dad who could take it from him. He suffers no longer, and now the parent takes his suffering. Your'e a good man, and you've done more than you know for your son.
