| So was strolling through the internet and I found: "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." -- Gandhi which is debatable so I'd figure I shitpost start an intelligent discussion revolving around the concept of forgiveness. Do you agree with the quote and or that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind? In a scenario where someone kills your child, will you still apply forgiveness? Discusserino |

| Sure, forgive and forget, but if I can get a nice hit back without repercussion you sure as hell bet I'm gonna do it. *And to answer the questions: Do you agree with the quote and or that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind? -When an idiot applies that philosophy, it goes both ways. In a scenario where someone kills your child, will you still apply forgiveness -Probably. I'd rather not have my kids grow up to be weeb trash like me. |

| Forgiving someone isn't really just about what they did. It's how you heal, too. You aren't supposed to look at the quote from just an external point of view. It takes a lot of strength to "let go" of the past. You aren't forgetting, you are learning. Anyway, a counter to the eye for an eye idea... |
| Good timing, it was Forgiveness Sunday last week, in the Orthodox Church. The service that sort of begins Lent. Forgiveness is an attribute of the wise. |

| I don't forgive anyone for anything. But here's the catch: nobody ever does anything (around me) that needs forgiveness. If a person is a douchebag one minute, then they're a douchebag. If they're super reasonable and nice the next, then they're reasonable and nice. The past doesn't exist, it's merely a wake; remnant reverberations of causality. The past affects you as much as you allow it to. Well that, and people who do bad things are usually just victims of circumstance. if someone harms other because of emotions, those emotions are something they're tortured by. If someone harms others out of psychopathy and not knowing any better, then they aren't doing any wrongs, they're merely ignorant and need correction or isolation for the sake of others. Just examples. The strength or weakness is subjective. All it means is that if you cannot master your own emotions and self, then you are an incompetent ignorant being who only causes problems in the world and for yourself. |

| In all honesty, if the other party was to have fucked up and done something you would shit out of when you were 2, I say "FUCK FORGIVENESS, THATS FOR PUSSIES." |
Religion is a parasite, and the only way to exterminate it is to accept facts that can be proven by regular every day activities. |

| I agree with it, though some things are unforgivable. |

Do you agree with the quote and or that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind? In a scenario where someone kills your child, will you still apply forgiveness? Discusserino I think the Gandhi quote is idiotic. Because some things are not easily forgivable or even forgivable at all. As for your scenario it depends. If the child was killed due to an accident I am sure I can eventually forgive that person who killed my child. If my child burglarizes someone's home and is shot by the homeowner I can forgive that person. If my child tries to rape someone or attempting to due something else horrible and is killed I can forgive that person who killed my child. If my child is murdered then no I probably will never forgive that person. All lot of people tend to confuse forgiving with forgetting. Forgiving someone just means you no longer feel anger,hatred or resentment towards that person who wronged you. Forgiveness doesn't mean you think the wrong doer should be let off the hook. |
| i believe the quote has some truth to it When you see in real life (and more importantly anime) that old wise man who knows a lot about the world and stuff, usually he has the worst, most tragic history of all. But he's always so peaceful OT but @codephat @peanutbutters like the video lol but I wanna contribute to the eye thing too >;] So we have this folktale: |

| A lot of times I can forget but not forgive. Sure forgiving is good but I feel like i'm going too easy on people when I do it. Depending on what they did of course. |

| I forgive people quite often, and I have had to suffer because of it. Its for the greater good. People get whats coming eventually. |
