Answer 1

Answer:

TW for abuse and mention of assault in 4th question!

Explanation:

1. There is power in forgiveness as withholding it leaves the person who seeks forgiveness wanting closure however you rejecting that leaves them feeling no closure and so they will do whatever you say to make it up to you in some cases.

2. When you grant forgiveness you give a person a feeling of closure and another chance to redeem themselves.

3. It is the victims responsibility to forgive because if the offender forgave themself that wouldn't make sense and the victim still has no closure.

4. Yes there are actions that can be considered unforgivable such as abuse or assault because if you mentally or physically traumatise someone then you do not have to forgive them because they have used you for their own pleasure at your expense and to most people that is unacceptable
