The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

I guess I'm not as strong as I thought. 🤔

forgiveness is not for the forgived, but the forgiver.

It's a weight off the shoulders of the forgiver, but the forgived is completely unaware...

I totally disagree.
The forgiven has a debt removed.
The forgiver is not promised anything.

@Pfuzylogic You speak of 2 states as if they're one... in life, the forgived is unaware. The fact that he may eventually be redeemed is inconsequential. He still must suffer for as long as it takes.

in the normal process of forgiveness the one forgiven asks for forgiveness.
The one that owes ask the one he owes to to let his debt go unpaid.

SW-User

@Pfuzylogic no, the forgiver owes no debt to the forgiven.

You misunderstand what I stated.
I stated that the forgiven is the one who has his debt let go.
The forgiven also asks the forgiver to let go of his debt because he can’t pay.

@SW-User A good point.

@Nevaeh0081 He was lost on the concept of forgiveness. He did state the obvious though.

@Pfuzylogic I didn't misunderstand anything you said. I'm stating that your point is ridiculous... like some kind of 12 step program for life.

You are adding to what I am saying.
Your process of forgiveness doesn’t involve the forgiven therefor if you are just annoyed by someone that doesn’t even ask for forgiveness you consider it forgiveness.
I am stating that in forgiveness that the person that has offended the other asks for forgiveness and the forgiver chooses to let the debt go.
