"Forgiveness" is a concept that is constantly exploited by manipulative abusers. If anything our world suffers from an overabundance of forgiveness: toward murderous power structures, toward lying news media, toward rapacious oligarchs and cronyistic politicians.
Don't forgive.
Don't forgive.
I'm distrustful of anyone who prattles on about the importance of forgiveness, because those who do so tend to do it because they have a vested interest in the concept. They're usually either an abuser themselves, or an abuser's brainwashed victim defending their indoctrination.
Remember, all abusive relationships have "forgiveness" as a central tenet, because without forgiveness of abuse there could be no ongoing relationship. It's as true of global power structures as it is of domestic partnerships.
Perfect example, yes.
