    I really think it depends on what, and who we are forgiving for what ever was done to us or more over what we have done...it's funny how so many people also view kindness as weakness, maybe that's why many of us are reluctant to forgive...forgiveness sets your soul free, it's better than holding on to bad feelings.

    Say for example, if I were on a bus and I had a seat and you came on board and your older and standing up I would offer you my seat ( kindness). If however, I was say sexually assaulted I would neither show forgiveness nor kindness, towards the offender. I believe some acts do not deserve forgiveness nor kindness.

    You're right, forgiveness can go hand in hand with kindness... we are told to "do justly, love mercy, and humble yourself to follow the Lord..." and it really takes all that.... but to pray for those that despitefully use us, instead of being unkind right back. Lots to learn.

    I don't really understand your question. Could you give an example? Where have you seen this happen?

    But this is what comes to mind....

    Repenting is a kind of kindness, don't you think? Why do people always tout forgiveness/kindness but don't want to repent?

    Because they're not idiots. You can be nice to people without forgiving them.

    well it really depends on the circumstances doesnt it, i mean what you might be able to forgive someone else might not. i suppose it is a kind of kindness but say you were raped or your child was raped would you be so kind as to forgive the person? prob not, so like i said it depends on the circumstances

    I agree, it would definately be more difficult to forgive someone for a malicious crime against yourself or loved one, but what if it's something small like a communication misunderstanding, or something along those lines.

    i think something small can easily be sorted with a simple talk together, some things are said in the heat of the moment i think we are guilty of saying things we dont mean, but a simple chat a hug and move on mostly works well
