Everyone has heard the saying “nobody is perfect” and it is true we are all humans, we all make mistakes sometimes, but to what extent does someone stop forgiving when they have endured all the hardship a person gives them after they have been forgiven several times. There is a certain point in life when some people do not deserve to be forgiven because every time that person is forgiven, that person takes advantage it because that person knows they will be forgiven. There is one very prominent character in a story who fits the reason of why some people do not deserve forgiveness, especially when they've been given multiple chances to do the right thing. That person is Amir from the book the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
Simon Wiesenthal, along with millions of individuals, faced horrendous circumstances as a Nazi prisoner living in concentration camps during the Holocaust. While performing slave labor, Wiesenthal is presented with an astounding request from an unexpected source, a Nazi SS officer, and faces an unimaginable entreaty. When Simon Wiesenthal awakened each morning in the concentration camp, his primary thoughts were likely on survival and his only concern regarding the SS officers was avoiding them. Unbeknownst to him, while performing slave labor at a hospital near the concentration camp where he was imprisoned, Wiesenthal would interact with an SS officer amid unlikely and unexpected circumstances.
Forgive, not because they deserve forgives, but because you deserve peace. It’s not easy to stop blaming someone’s fault, especially for someone who do wrong to us. In the book The Sunflower written by Simon Wiesenthal, a survivor of the Holocaust during World War II, he described his conflict with Karl, a dying Nazi soldier who killed many innocent Jews and begging for forgiveness for his outrageous crime at the end of his life. At the end of this sad and tragic episode, Simon did not response to Karl’s request directly; instead he left us a tough question: “What should you have done?” Based on what Karl had done during World War II and his repentance, each person might have their own point of view about where should we draw the line of forgiveness.
Has your life ever been consumed by not forgiving someone? For this essay I will be using both, “Thanks for Not Killing My Son,” by Rita Schindler, and, “Forgiveness”, by June Callwood to explain why it’s important to forgive someone who had done wrong. Both of these writings involve an underlying message about forgiveness. Each one of them has their own stories about forgiving someone who has done wrong. Everyone at some point has been hurt by someone either mildly or severely and can possibly relate to the message both of these writings are sending.

Forgiveness is an intervention for different types of offenses in the relationship (Johnson, 2002). In forgiving, the couple relationships lessening of negative motivation alone are not sufficient for the relationship to fix (Kato, 2016). In the infidelity context, forgiveness does not need for the victim to excuse or condone the extradyadic involvement of the partner and the couple must reconcile. Instead, the goal of forgiveness is for the victim to have the balance view of the offender and the infidelity while the affect toward the offender is decreasing and the empathy is increasing (Gordon & Baucom, 1999). According to Fincham, Hall, and Beach (2006) forgiveness is not the same from accepting, excusing, or condoning an offense.
Albert Einstein once said “Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.” Giving a criminal a device to search anyone in the entire world, can be an end to someone’s life. Criminals find way to make themselves feel better, whether it’s hurting others or themselves. There are many reasons on the possibility behind the criminal of violent perpetrators; those reasons being, they could have a mental illness, they lost people they cared about, or maybe they’re not in their right minds. Many people do have mental illnesses, but some of those people do not commit crimes.
Forgiveness means to forget someone’s bad deed or mistake, and don’t punish him/her on that bad deed or mistake, or on bad behavior. Sometimes, a person performs such act which is damaging for us, hurt us, or anyone does such mistake which make our life or a part of life tough. And when we react in response to that act or mistake, it can cause damage on both sides. On the twelfth Tuesday, Morrie gives one of his final lessons. This is the day they talk about forgiveness.
