Forgiveness seems to be a somewhat old tradition that slowly goes out of fashion. I find that very regrettable, as forgiveness is the thing that enables the other one to admit their mistake and then improve upon it, which I think is one of the pillars of our society.
- yifanl 5y agoNot to armchair, but I think it's a reaction to the very liberal interpretation of the phrase "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" that seemingly every entity with authority has used in almost any community. Like me personally, I'm just about out of forgiveness to give, it's too often that the entity in question goes and skips asking permission a second time after they apologize for the first time. Though in this specific case, the infraction seems really so minor that I'd happily live and let live.
