“Some mistakes cannot be redeemed but by forgiveness.”

ABSOLUTELY ! We hold this truth to be self evident ! ! !

Interesting, but it would be pleasant, and perhaps ever more enlightening, to have an accompanying example.

I like it.  Some things can only be forgiven else there is perpetual war.  Even the Christians believe that there is a perpetual war between good and evil, and yet the solution posed by Christ is to forgive one's enemies.  That's a tough one, but worth pondering the depths of it.  But returning evil for evil guarantees evil, so logically maybe there's something to forgiving evil....  That's still a tough one for me.
