I wholeheartedly agree with you. The trouble is that empathy in regard to forgiveness is highly selective. Our current court system is designed to humiliate someone and potentially punish someone. To me, this sounds like an organized system for vengeance. > But if as a society, there's never a notion of change/forgiveness, how is one expected to leave the vicious cycle? People still believe that certain things are irredeemable. As long as one person is allowed to sit around and tout that for one thing, then another person will do it for another thing, so on and so forth. Morals are hazy like that. What you're asking for is a fundamental societal shift where pretty much everyone drops their baggage at the door. I'm hopeful, but I don't see that coming true.
