Amir Forgiving Himself

This quote by Les Brown fits well with Amir having to forgive himself for something he did as a child. Rahim Khan wrote in the letter to Amir to forgive his father, try to forgive him, and to forgive himself. As an adult, Amir still had not forgiven himself. When he finally does forgive himself, he is free. He is finally able to be free. When Amir had this guilt weighing down on him, I feel he was never truly happy. When he was with Soraya, he was happy. When Amir is in Afghanistan he calls Soraya and tells him of the cold winter day of 1975 that has built him to what he had become. When he finishes the story, you can feel the pain it caused him, and how much it had been affecting him through the years. But, when he ran that kite, I think he was finally able to be happy without feeling guilty.
