What do you think should be forgiven?


Do you ever think about forgiveness? What is able to be forgiven and what is not? Lets go back to World War II. If you were in a concentration camp and you seen another inmate helping your captors by beating fellow inmates to make them work harder, would you be able to forgive them?
I believe that you should forgive them. You never know if your captors threatened your fellow inmate or not. Your captors could have told the inmate that they would kill them and/or their family if they didn't do as told. Almost anyone will do anything to keep their family out of harm’s way so you can’t not forgive the person for protecting their family.
I also believe you should forgive them because to be able to be forgiven you must know how to forgive. If the person asks for forgiveness they should receive it. Everyone should be forgiven if they ask for it.
Now think back to my question. If you seen a fellow inmate beating other inmates or yourself could you forgive them?

  4. I completely agree with you. He should be forgiven because we don't know the reasoning behind the decision. You wrote the caption very well.

  5. I agree with you. No one knows the reason he was beating the other inmates. There's a good chance he could have been threatened.

  6. I agree with you. He could have been threatened by others if he didn't do what he was told and if he had kids he definately would have not wanted them to hurt them.
