More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world. These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian-born Hart. The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.（= two weeks） The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. “People have lots of negative（消极的）attitudes towards forgiveness,〞 he said. “People confuse（把……混淆）forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one（积极的态度）〞. Hart and his team have made instructions to provide the training needed. “The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes toward the person you are angry with,〞 said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project, Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past〞. 47.
