S.S.S.

"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive."  - Alan Paton

I don't really agree with this statement. Some people can forgive and that's their way of recovering but some people can't recover that easily. Some people may recover easier even. Sometimes recovering is really hard for people and they have to do other things to recover. In the video cases I think it was different than how some other people react or cope with this. The American World War 2 veteran forgave them because he didn't want to compare with the Japanese. If he got revenge there would have basically have been no difference between them and they would both be really dehumanizing. For the lady that lost her child, that is maybe her own way. She also knew that the guy didn't actually want to do it. The lady probably felt bad for the guy as up to some degree he didn't want to kill anybody.  In my opinion forgiving might not really  help.
