Forgiveness technically does NOT require those things. That’s the point. It’s fore-give-ness.

- GTP 6y agoBut if you forget for a moment your semantic argument, you find that is actually very hard to forgive somebody that doesn't admit to have done something wrong.
- gimboland 6y agoYup — that basically requires extremely high levels of compassion and unconditional love, something we can all aspire to, but in reality and in general forgiveness tends to be conditional.
- orasis 6y agoThat is the entire point of the Christian practice of forgiveness. It is unconditional. It is a practice, something you do in spite of it being challenging. The practice itself is mostly for the forgiver, not the forgiven. Try it and watch your heart soften and open.
