I really don't get why holding a grudge or being angry about something from the past hurts people so much. It's like people are very afraid of that and act like it's going to kill them if they stay angry about something that happened in the past.

If something terrible like that happened to someone I cared about I would be mad and hateful towards whoever caused it for the rest of my life. Have some heart damn.

Unless they can punish him in the afterlife, then it's for the best that they let it go.


But I will say it's kind of weird that every high profile shooting victims family( at least the ones on camera) tend to forgive the killer.

Forgiveness is always necessary.

Unforgiveness can eat away at you and destroy your life.

If someone wants to forgive they can, if you want to bitter and upset while the other party doesn't give a damn if your upset and bitter up to you brehs

Why do people have something against forgiveness?



Cool, you wouldn't have done it, gotcha! We dig it. You don't have compassion the way some others do. :manny:

Because that has nothing to do with Christianity. There's no passage in the Bible whatsoever that says to forgive someone that shot your grandfather in the head. They killed people for less in the Bible. You dudes definitely didn't study the Crusades in school.

Me personally, I couldn't do it. I'd still hold a lot of resentment and hatred against someone who killed my family. With time, I could let go but not within 2 or 3 days.

I hope this family continues to heal. May their grandfather Rest in Peace.

Fair enough, but maybe they not doing it for all that...maybe they just forgiving for them, so THEY can move on. So you can only forgive if you're Christian?

I didn't bring religion up in this...but since you did, the Bible asks us to forgive, they didn't mention any conditions to it tho

No it isn't always necessary.

When you have power, the other party would give a damn when they're suffering in a cell or looking at the remains of their life.

What you said amounts to ''You fukked me over and I can't do shyt about it".
