I do support those who forgive it really gives an improtance to that person from my side. To forgive others is what gives a path to peace and love. But for certain cases those people find it difficult to do that as the social sturcture they are in made them like that. I hope forgiveness is most welcomed part in human relatioship. It gives a smooth going of relationships. We all have forgiven in one way or other.

I only believe in forgiveness to a certain extent. It's a pretty unpopular view, I'll admit, but I honestly believe that beyond a certain point forgiveness is just letting people get away with hurting you. I get very frustrated with the people who tell me I must forgive all the harm done to me. I don't think some things should be forgiven. I think there are certain crimes for which a person should die, period, and I will not forgive people who have committed such crimes. I will not embrace those who cause harm and destroy lives. It's just completely against my honor code to do so.

Hi, I too agree with that one as forgiving in some cases makes one get way with his crimes or hurting one beyong to a certain extend. Forgive others should be according to the character that one posses and also given as a warning may be this may also lead to repeating that crime. Any how forgiving should be given carefully.

Hi there! I believe that we all should learn how to forgive somehow. Like you, I believe that it is a very important ingredient in any relationship. We are not perfect therefore, we are prone to comitting mistakes. And in a relationship, you need to accept the person for who that person is, both sides of the person and not just her or his strength. Sometimes, a person's weakness makes him or her more special. And more human. That's why we should learn how to forgive because time may come that we'll be the one ourselves that would need to be forgiven.
