Can
forgiveness be easily given to someone who does terrible things to many
people? Such as a warlord kidnapping children
and forcing them to be sex slaves for over 20 years? I don’t think so.
This person
had been committing this crime for over 20 years. He had plenty of time to stop and get
forgiveness. Reasonably, someone can
assume that this amount of time was all of his adult life, and someone cannot
easily change something they have been doing that long. Logically, even if this person were given forgiveness,
he would not change.
Also,
this man was taking the lives of children.
This would mentally scar them, turning them into monsters because of
what they were put through. This would
also deprive them of a normal future with a family. What if one of these children could have made
a cure for cancer? Or AIDS? In this way, the man is also depriving the world of
potentially vital minds because they would never reach their true potential as
human beings.
Thousands
of children could have been effected by this one man, and no one has the right
to negatively affect the outcome of one person’s life, let alone thousands.
i completely agree, Kara. This man was wrong in everything he did to these children and should not be forgiven.
ReplyDeleteI agree, you make a good point about the man having an oppertunity to stop and still continuing to do it. Also that he affected thousands of lives negativly.
ReplyDeletei disagree with this comment because i believe every deserves forgiveness i mean because after 20 years you see it as normal to do these things to people and treat them this way so i believe he deserves forgiveness.
