Document Summary
A: vengeance is the impulse to relative when wrongs are done. Vengeance can unleash more response than the punishment guided by the rule of law. Forgiveness is where we can give up the feeling of jealousy, pain, grudges, and. A: victimized positions we can be potentially put within in a day-to-day life. Forgiveness ultimately means forgetting and or putting aside harm. It is good to note that forgiveness does not take the place of justice and punishment where it often produces an exemption from punishment. Typically forgiveness is a power held by the victimized and is not a right to be claimed as an individual with no cause. Forgiveness should be restored as a concept and practice for instances where there are good reasons to forgive. To forgive without a reason is to accept the violation and devaluation of the self. If forgiveness involves letting go of warranted resentment then the forgiver needs a good reason to let go.
