[quote=Anonymous] 1. "Forgiveness" is really about doing whatever it takes to preserve your mental health and lead you to healing. Vengeance may be satisfying in the short-term, but the main thing is to move on and be happy, in whichever way you can. When people move on, with the passage of time, they find that they are amenable to forgiving their tormentors. Personally as a biologist, I think it's just some physiological function of our brains, that our memories dim past pain, like the pain of childbirth, and that hazy memories help us forgive. 2. I don't think we should ever forget or forgive institutional abuse. Something as deliberate and planned as the Holocaust, or something unplanned but still terrible like the abuse of children by priests. The only way to make sure it doesn't happen again is to legislate, enforce laws and guard against hate. [/quote]
