Yes, & what is that one thing you wouldn't forgive? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) (Drum roll, please) But you know, don't you?
SURELY, someone here knows.
I'd step on them in a second. Forgiveness doesn't mean too much.

I thing intentions are important. I can imagine situations where I could find myself forgiving someone who done some fairly awful things if they had an understandable (not to say that I agree with it) motivation at the time, so I could see that they no longer held those same intentions. And I have not forgiven people for (what on paper seem like) more minor offences because I knew that they're motivations were much more malicious and those motivations still exist.
I worry about inflexible systems where all that is looked is the deed and not the reason why the deed was carried out. There's a difference between stealing out of a desire for wealth and because it is genuinely the only way you can see to feed yourself. I'm not saying that both aren't crimes, but the person stealing just because they want to be richer will probably always be at risk of re-offending as they see that as a legitimate way of increasing their wealth. The person doing it out of desperation possibly wouldn't.
