On forgiveness and a poem

(May have a case of the Mondays.)

Do you have to forgive people who don’t admit they have wronged you and don’t ask for forgiveness? My answer is no. The perpetrator should at least apologize even if not forgiven by the victim.

I think it almost psychologically impossible for a victim to forgive without an apology. It may be better for the victim’s mental health to “let bygones be bygones.” Wrath, even if only  in the form of particularly bitter memory, can be a deadly sin.

But sometimes sin is brought upon us.

“Expected” by yours truly

As expected, been rejected.

Don’t blame others for being infected.

(They only wanted what is best for you.)

Yourself you should have protected.

This has been detected.

Take care.
