If someone that terribly wronged you was apologizing from their deathbed, would you forgive them?

Question

Your wrongdoer who made your life miserable (now all weak, cripple and moments from dying) is on their deathbed and one of their final words as they see you is asking you for forgiveness. Do you forgive?

If someone that terribly wronged you was apologizing from their deathbed, would you forgive them?

No , I wouldn't even go to see them - if they'd intentionally hurt me that is. I am a compassionate person , but my compassion doesn't extend to everyone.

Asking for forgiveness on their deathbed would mean they just wanted to ease their own conscience. It wouldn't be because they were genuinely sorry. If they were, they'd have apologised long before they were faced with death. So their apology would be for selfish reasons , not selfless

If someone hurts me i cut all ties and i move on. I don't become bitter , angry or resentful. I move forward with my life. So i have no need for an apology.

No because fuck you. You're not apologizing because you really want to you're just afraid to die with what ever points against you/guilt/seeking validation and shit.

If you wanted to apologize you would've found a way, same as when you're dying, to find me when you were healthy and apologize.

Depends what they did. If the person couldn't pay back money they owned me I would probably forgive them or if they just were a little bit mean saying insults etc. If the person was my partner and cheated on me it would be more difficult. But I doubt I would be able to forgive them with my imperfect human mind if they were a rapist, a person who murdered my family/friends or did very severe physical harm on me giving me a severe disability.

It depends on what they did to me and others. If it was a sexual crime, then no. I'll tell them they will never have forgiveness and that they better hope hell isn't real, as the light leaves their eyes.

i would but would also be mad at them for leaving it till the last minute. ideally if you're capable, forgive them before that time. it doesn't mean you have to get to know them again, just move on with your life.

Junkberry · Answer

I easily forgive people, sometimes a little too easy I am afraid. If I had to make a list, my friends would be on top, followed by family, strangers, my. Enemies (don't have any though) and finally me. So yes, I would forgive them.

Zorax · Answer

I would feel sorry for the person, and I would probably forgive, most of the things, depends on what, but I most likely would... forgiveness feels good.

Kaylyne · Answer

Yes absolutely, there is no point whatsoever in continuing a grudge beyond someone's grave.

Of course you do. You cannot do anything else. Any other decision will come back to haunt you in time.

No. I'd even tell them I hope they rot in hell (if they believe in hell, that is).
