Sorry I don't think we are communicating here. I think we have a problem with terminology. So I will try again. 1) There is a great deal you can do for and with persons who are struggling to find there way in life. You can encourage them to see the benefits in following a good path. You can pester them about their hard headedness and stubborn insistance that they can "beat the system," you can throw resources at them, etc etc etc. All well and good. 2) Forgiveness means something else. It means that whatever the problem was, it is no longer an issue and we are both willing to start over with a clean slate. When perpetrators of evil deeds have no remorse, forgiveness is foolhardy because there is no context for it. 3) I agree that before a better life can begin to take place there needs to be a renewal which includes forgiveness for the bad things of the past. However, just because you can imagine a better existance doesn't mean that others have a commitment to it. No remorse and commitment to change...no forgiveness. Its one of those things that just because you say it doesn't make it so.
