I myself committed aggravated armed robbery, even though I was sentenced years ago and have been out living my life differently since then there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the victims in the situation I was in and it tears me apart and once I had children of my own I hurt me even more to realize what I had done and how it's not about me when we all have a right to live in this world peacefully with each other and coexist and there was nothing important in this life that was worth taking somebody else's right to have a freedom or to live their life to the fullest with their loved ones in my opinion, It was very touching to hear this, grieving father forgive the other two boys and years later he's going into put this behind him by confronting the other man and it makes him a wonderful wonderful father grandfather and man, Amen..

A beautiful story of forgiveness. God bless this Samoan man and his family.

Wow, the power of forgiveness. This is one video that has the power to end evil. My hats off to these two men, and all there support workers. Respect

No words can describe how honourable this man is. There's a lesson for us all, hate and revenge only divides us and makes us weak, we all need to come together, forgive those that have wronged us and live decent and fulfilling lives. What an amazing man.

The way those 2 men embrace and look into each others hearts speaks volumes about regret, forgiveness sadness and love. Such a powerful 3 seconds

What a father........I couldn't do what he has done. Hats off to him for being a forgiving man and I really hope this has brought him some peace that he so thoroughly deserves.

To this beautiful papa. I hope this has helped you move forward and has extinguished the fire of anger burning within. The pain the memories whether good or bad will never go away . I wish you nothing but light , love and prosperity in moving forward . Today you have taught me a valuable life lesson and that’s , In order to give forgiveness, forgiveness within yourself is where forgiveness needs to start. God bless you papa❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🙏🏾

But forgiving someone would be a way of finding peace in your life because holding resentment for someone can be very draining and would hinder you from living your life to the fullest. Better to forgive the person for your own sanity

Proverbs 10:12 - Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. Awesome story for our people in NZ. Keep safe everyone, don’t act in the heat of the moment 💙

I would NEVER have been able to behave like this "father" who's forgiven the killing of his son ! Never ever ! I would have seek revenge and destroyed the killer's family and then ended him in the most painful way... I don't care if it's not the "right" thing to do ! if you do me harm, i'll do you harm + bonus !! Where's the justice for the person killed here ? his life ended without him having any choices about it. Can someone ask him if he's willing to forgive ? it's not possible, therefore there's no forgiveness to be given !

I am much forgiven by The Lord, therefore I am able to forgive. 😊

Wow, amazing father. To forgive your boy's killer...blows me away. God bless this precious father. An example of pure love. A pure example of Jesus.

The head to head touching is amazing and powerful. We shake hands mostly universal but to go head to head with the man who ripped your heart out of your chest is just WOW. God Blessed them all, forgiveness is Beautiful.

It’s called a hongi and here in New Zealand you do that at a gathering or funeral or and other spiritual stuff, it’s the most sincere way of greeting someone for whom you hold deep respect for so in this case the mongrel mobster has great respect for the dad hense the hongi

The roller coaster of emotions I felt watching this was truly powerful.

I have the absolute honor of knowing Mr Matalasi from Lyall Bay City Fitness Gym. He is an amazingly kind-hearted gentleman, with an unshakable ethos and an amazing character. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey to forgiveness good Sir.

Every once in a while I run across somethings that helps me to see life on a little different level than I did before. This right here is one of them!✔

RIP precious soul. This man is selfless & evolved. A truly beautiful soul. I lost my son & the pain never leaves. Sending him love & light💞

The strength he showed in his forgiveness is mighty i salute that man whole heartedly.

I am speechless after seeing this. What a remarkable, brave and ordinary person that father is. If we could all have a bit of his personality, this world would not be such an ugly place. I will never forget mr. Matalasi.

It doesn't matter how he puts up his face or status,the real Shane Harrison is hiding behind ✊🧐

This was so emotionally moving.. at times i could not hold back my tears! As a father i felt the victims dads pain and im in ore of his strength and manna. What a absolute warrior of light he is! God bless him and his whanau. 🥺😢🙏🏽♥️

I respect this man, and this video has changed my life forever! The power of forgiveness! Uso thank you for sharing your story with the world!

This is really amazing. From a tragedy. Wow. Forgiveness is a very amazing tool.

Most of my family is in Mongrel Mob, But I truly feel sorry for this guy 🙏❤️ So proud of him for forgiving his sons killer, I could never be strong enough to do that.

Wowwww this so beautiful!! Got in me in tears😢 God bless both families

My Samoan people have BIG hearts no doubt! , no question , no 2nd guessing .. but this is something that most of us Samoans find EXTREMELY HARD TO DO... and this dad has gone against the odds❤️. Alofa aku mo oe tamā.

Take out this story, which is deeply moving. This is real journalism. In Australia, the Sunday program plays neighbour's warring etc. This is what the world needs.

What an incredible moment between these two people. It is more difficult to forgive than to commit an act of revenge. What an amazing man this is to forgive his son's killer and to greet him with the love that he did. I am sure that this was a turning point for the other man as well, not to take anything away from the fact that he committed this murder but based on his demeanour and his words he seems deeply saddened by his deed. I wish them both well.

This is so so touching ❤️

I can see a lot of "I wouldn't forgive the killer" comments. Totally missing the bloody point of the video. Did ya'll watch the video on mute. What happened here is teaching us even through the worst possible thing that could ever happen to us and our loved ones. You never know how strong you are. Until being strong is the only damn choice you bloody have. And that includes FORGIVENESS. xx

I agreed that we should forgive other people. But, I disagreed to forgive people that murdered our family member. Honestly, I am very admired with Mr. Matalasi courage to forgive the person who murdered his son. But, if I were him, I wouldn't have no courage to do that. And, I will not accepting for what they did to my son's fate. It is just me and my opinion.

@Jordan Gill again missing the point. I'd rather live in love than hate. I've been raped for 3 years at the age of 7 by my own uncle and I've forgiven even though I wanted him behind bars it's best to let go. Karma plays a big part in life and I choose not to be eaten up by negative situations. Thanks

Humble father, I take my hat off to you for staying humble and having the heart of forgiveness. I am Samoan and have 6 brothers and all family oriented and values. One of my brothers got killed by a Maori man who is rumoured to be a patch member and now my other brothers are filled with rage and want revenge. As their younger sister, It hurts deeply. But I want my brothers to be like this father 😢 as hard it’s said than done but forgiveness will set you free. God bless this father and family.
