Let’s be real here, forgiveness only benefits perpetrators who have wronged others. It sends a message that it’s okay to do bad things because you are going to get away with it. No consequences. No value in forgiveness. It’s basically giving you a pass to do evil unto others at their expense. This is why forgiveness creates more evil. The belief systems who promote this are evil.

Forgiveness is for suckers…
Forgiveness is not about a lack of consequences. It’s something that happens alongside the consequences. It’s not absolving, or forgetting what they’ve done, but it’s understanding why, and letting go of the negative feelings you have towards the person.
lol. jts the opposite my guy. basic morality. if you can’t forgive, you will be blind to your own humanity. what you do with this forgiveness, that’s up to you.
That’s not the case at all OP.
Is that how your mind works?
You do something bad, feel bad about it, apologize, are forgiven, and are more likely to do that same bad thing?
This is how you operate on a daily basis?
Forgiveness is the thing that should be given sparingly, like exceptions and not like the world preaching it. But if we ourselves will punish people for their wrongdoing the system would collapse and more violence will be around. First: the system doesn’t like when it’s collapsing, that’s why there are law and law enforcers. Second: people generally don’t like violence(towards them, not from them).
So there is your choice: forgiveness leading to evil, self righteousness leading to evil
Evil doesn’t need your fogiveness to exist, it will do stuff regardless of getting forgiveness or not.
