I do think there are exceptions to forgiveness, now let look at an instance; you intend to mend things with an offender and he shows no sign of being remorseful, how do you react to that? That is arrogant at individual level.
Amnesty is a form of forgiveness, then the offender (militant) become serial offender after mercy. For crying out loud, forgiveness is stupidity in that case!
Okay, I already like machiavellist😂. But my point is that there are two sides in all coins, or middle ground in all cases.
Nice post all the way.
