So a human is capable of forgiving if they wanted to?

[sunshinexoxo9]

The most extraordinary case I've heard of forgiveness was about a married couple that forgave a drunk driver for killing their only (a young adult) child. They didn't want to continue living with hatred nor vengeances. Obviously that's the maximum level of forgiveness you can get from a human; for taking away their most precious treasure.

So a person is capable of forgiving even the highest offense ever and yet most of us can't even forgive someone for much lesser offenses. Not even getting cheated on in a relationship compares to what that couple went through. If a human is capable of stretching forgiveness like that, then it basically means nothing is really unforgivable. It's unforgivable to the person but not globally unforgivable. If someone wanted to forgive, then it would be forgivable to that person.

Up to you.

But generally speaking yes, we are capable of forgiving of course. But, every person is like a variable in an equation of pretty much anything in this world.

For me, yes. I am capable of forgiving.
But my sister is a big grudge holder.

You know what i mean now? :)

[sunshinexoxo9]

Yeah every person is different. I'm capable of forgiving but with limits. Some things I would never forgive and others I might forgive.

[TheSpectre]

Of course, we have our limits about it too.

I think those parents beat everyone of us at it. Forgiving someone that kills your child is the top level of forgiveness to me. I wouldn't be able to ever forgive that. Cases like those are astonishing.

[TheSpectre]

Well... I dont know how it happened so i cannot DIRECTLY comment on that situation but i agree, it is the ultimate sign of a person being forgiving as a person ever can be.

It depends on what it is but there are some things i would not forgive no matter what. It would be interesting if you would do the same, but obviously i hope you never in that situation. Can i ask were they religious.

[sunshinexoxo9]

Yeah they were religious (either Catholics or Christians) but yeah that did played a role in their forgiveness.

Emotions give you strength especially negative ones. Forgiving is the path of the weak.

[sunshinexoxo9]

It's really the opposite. Seeking vengeance and holding grudges is the path of the weak but not many of us have the strength to forgive some offenses.
