Power of Forgiveness in The Journey of Injustice

Injustice and Its Emotional Aftermath

When forced or abused anyone will normally feel self-hate and unclean, maybe also betrayed if the criminal was a family member, trust in the family circle is broken and they are told to keep the secret of the abuser, a further burden is then on their shoulders. Threat or even guilt tactics are common, or the police will take you away for doing this!”, misdirecting the guilt and the crime falsely onto the abused person. In all of these crimes against the person, not the property there should be no power of forgiveness. Only justice can get these cruel and hurtful wicked people away from the society that they are ruining and would keep on ruining unless they are caught and justice is served.

Balancing Justice and Power of Forgiveness

So for the wronged, there would be both justice and mercy, forgiveness and peace of mind. For the thief who stole only things, perhaps forgiveness if the victim has the need to move onward from the crime. For the taker of the person, the enslaver, the rapist, the abuser, murderer, and criminal of the mind, who takes from their victims that which is not easily restored, there should be no mercy given, as there was no mercy shown to their weak at all, helpless and innocent prey.

Only the victim would need peace of mind, restored into feeling the good that remains hidden within Justice and Forgiveness are cousins, not siblings. You can seek justice to amend the wrong, but if you do not find it within your nature to forgive the offense committed against the injured party. It may not be you, but someone close to you, then there is nothing else you can do but try to not blame yourself. If you lost money, property and material possessions by theft or deception you can also lose your own self-worth and you might have been at fault but to punish yourself more often than the criminal then you are your own jailer, self forgiveness is the key to your jail cell. However, learn from this lesson and be extra careful in the future things can be replaced and even in some cases returned. But your self-worth is only something you can throw away by blaming yourself entirely.

Healing Through Power of Forgiveness

Forgiveness for the rascal who stole from you the ‘things’ and goods that might be easier for some people than others. violence against a weak person or worst yet against a child. Once you have been hurt, ruined or abused in this manner way you can not replace these problems, the child has no longer their innocence, for them often within the support and counseling help, they have lost that which is never to be returned. Their broken and saddened live after these attacks. Justice is doing what is due to the person and forgiveness is when you let go of the negative feeling and start a new vibe for that person, and at the same time to heal .forgiveness is like letting go of the fact of hatred and try to set new things, as what as some said everybody deserves a second chance but of course...in order for you to get the second chance you must earn again the trust of the person which is to accept first your consequence.
