Forgiveness In Hinduism

Concrete Responses As I was reading the chapter on forgiveness in Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling by McMinn (2011), the personal life experience that jumped out to me was when I had to make the decision to truly forgive my ex-boyfriend and his parents for the emotional pain they caused me. After living in New Jersey for a month and spending time with my boyfriend and his family, working, and taking care of an elderly lady with dementia my world came crashing down on me. My ex-boyfriend’s parents discovered sin in his life and told me I could no longer pursue a relationship with him because of the sins he had committed. After finding out the sinful things my ex-boyfriend had done, I chose to forgive him. I also chose to give him a second chance at a relationship with me, but my effort to salvage our relationship was futile.

The cornerstone of the Christian faith is that of forgiveness. Forgiveness is an area in our lives that many of us can struggle with simply because we have to overcome our own pain and suffering that another person has inflicted on us. It also may be believes by many that forgiveness is to forget or condone the person for what they did but, according to the article, “To forgive is to offer mercy to someone who has acted unjustly and then be able to look at the person who violated us and give them mercy.”(Enright & Magnusin, 2008, p. 114)

Often we are asked the question, can justice and forgiveness go hand in hand? A lot of people believe they can’t. That only one can exist not the other. For some it’s true, they only believe someone can either give forgive, or justice, neither both. Then there are the few people who believe they go hand in hand, one can’t exist without the other. That’s true as well. I’m not sure where I stand exact on the line for these two, maybe exactly on the line. I believe they go hand in hand and in some cases only one works, all depending on the situation. Now we’ve read a number of stories regarding this, but most of them doing with forgiveness and justice going hand in hand. I’m going to talk about a few of these stories, and see where you fall

The Crucible “There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love (Bryant H. McGill).” The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller in 1953, is set in Salem, Massachusetts. The play occurs at the time of The Salem Witch Trials, which took place from 1692 until 1693. Nineteen people were sentenced to death for failing to admit to witchcraft, with many more being accused.

In Shiver’s article, A Bridge Across Abysses of Revenge, he claims that for forgiveness in politics to occur the past must not be forgotten. He states, “Citizens must cope with the injustices that have divided them before they contract for a justice that will unite them” (Helmick, & Petersen, 2001, p. 155). Shiver makes his point by discussing the different approaches to how nations have dealt with war crimes and massacres, and great injustices from the past, such as Americas denial of the “No Gun Ri Massacre” that occurred in South Korea in 1950. In his article, Shiver compares America’s tendency to deny and/or forget the past to Germany’s ability to embrace their mistakes and in return find true forgiveness and reconciliation. He encourages

Mr. Standlea began class posing the question “What does the Bible teach about forgiveness?”. My classmates and I start to rattle a few answers. After answering the question, Mr. Standlea then asked us where can we find support for our claims in the Bible? I realized I could not think of one place in the Bible where the Bible taught about forgiveness. I remembered a few verses, but I had no idea where those verses could be found. A few students supported their claims, but I froze and did not utter one word because I had no support. Mr. Standlea’s question left me questioning every single part of my faith in the Lord; his question forced me to ponder if I based my faith solely on the Bible or based solely on the information other people taught
