Do you believe that people should always be forgiven for the things they have done wrong?
Some people like myself say that it depends on what the person has done wrong. Should that matter or should everyone be forgiven no matter what?
Answers:
I have always the capacity to forgive, even things that are very, very wrong. But not forget. That means that while you are willing to forgive people, and not allow their past doings to change how you treat them now, and allow them to rehabilitate themselves, you will always remember what they did, and always remember they did it. It can be hard to seperate the two, but it is possible.
Forgiveness is a personal thing. It depends on what was done and how the person on the recieving end feels.
some things are unforgivable no matter how sorry there are
No. Some acts do not deserve a free pass.
0nly if they show some remorse.
i also agree it depend what they have done
hang 'em regardless!
it up to you, some things arent easy to forgive
I can sometimes forgive, but can never forget
thay need forgiveness from god.
We sin everday against God and if he can forgive us, why can't we forgive others.
i believe every1 deserves 3 chances if somehting happens once its an accidnet and then a 2nd time is coincedence and third time is a pattern
yea, depends what it is,sometimes i forgive but i never ever forget, once you diss me thats it.
It's all about personal opinion, and how deeply affected you are by what this person has done. If they've done something that has really hurt you, then they don't deserve your forgiveness.
But if it's just a minor scratch, then you should forgive them. There's no real friendship without forigveness.
forgiveness is not "conditional." it is not dependent on the person who has committed a transgression. However, generally speaking people find it easier to forgive when someone has acknowledged their misdeed, appears remorseful and has taken steps to amend the situation.
Only if they are sorry. Forgiving is difficult to do but it is important the person doing the forgiving can move on.
Its all down to personal belief and trust. But there are lots of things that are unforgivable. So no people should not always be forgiven
absolutely positively. this is why:
if we dont forgive em, they will continuously have something hanging over their head.forgiveness is something will we give, not somethings that deservd by the recipient. if we wait for that person to somehow make things right, forget it. it'll never happen cuz how can they possibly know what will appease our bitterness.
not worth it. id rather have a clear conscious with no bitterness. forgiving doesnt mean forgetting. its just not expecting any kind of payment in return for the grievance caused.
i'd say it depends on what they have done and wether it affected/involved anyone else. If what they did only affected them then id say thats ok.
No not always, depends who they are and what they have done. Some things are just unforgiveable
As a Christian, I would say, yes. However it is not easy. Sometimes it can take years, but I do believe that the person who does the forgiving can move on better in their life if they let go and forgive, or at least, try to forgive.

You can forgive but you can't forget? if you don't trust them then f**k them that what i say any way
God said that he would forgive everyone if they asked
BUT
I NEVER SAID THAT
i think that forgiveness is meant to benefit the victim. forgiveness should be part of the healing process no matter how small the offense. The victim should be the most considered about forgivness, in the sense that they need to be ready to move on and grant forgiveness to thier offender.
I think that in an ideal world everyone should be forgiven (as long as both sides have had some kind of closure) this way there would be no need for revenge or grudges. However, that will never happen. I'd rather wait for peace in the middle east.
Yes..! Though there are acts committed by people that are so heinous we would prefer not to forgive. the act of forgiving cleanses the spirit..leaving the burning anger and hurt inside just allows it to fester and take a larger part of our life with it..
I do not believe that forgiving should be a substitute for punishment. If you did it you get the puishment..Period.!
is forgiveness conditional to the degree of wrong committed ?
forgiveness is a key to elevate feelings of guilt and some shame.
but to all ill doings?
it depends but that can be interpreted as vague.
do i forgive my ex wife for her infidelities?
should my friends mother be forgiven for physically abusing his sister?
should have i not been forgiven as a teenage shop lifter?
these examples are true and out of the three i believe forgiveness should be granted to two of them because i am intimate with the circumstances that lead to the actions.
to another person whom may be unfamiliar with the details a bias view may be taken.
therefore i believe forgiveness is a personal issue.
forgiving oneself should be achieved to understand the impact of forgiving others.
If you have been wronged by someone, forgiveness frees you and you are no longer bonded to that person but the act can be remembered; forgive the person but not forgive and forget the act. People who do really terrible crimes that haven't impacted me I don't believe deserve to be forgiven in some instances because what they have done is so horrific.
Forgiveness is powerful.
There is no such thing as wrong or right, because it is all based on perception.
The problem lies in what you have to forgive. It definatley is personal, And you shouldnt be made to feel you are bad if you forgive or bad if you do not. Its a choice you and only you can decide.
Should Hitler be forgiven for what he had done?
Think about it.
It depends on the kind of wrong that the person has committed, the level of seriousness can be used to judge on whether the person can be forgiven
