Answer:

If we agree to forgive someone too quickly and uncritically in an effort to repair a relationship, without discussing and acknowledging the injury, then we are not necessarily doing it for the right reasons, and the issue will probably still fester.

And too often, the concept of forgiveness has been jumbled up with other ideas. For instance, we can excuse someone's conduct by deciding that the person who did us wrong simply couldn't help him- or herself. That is not forgiveness

Forgiveness also isn't the same as mercy. Showing mercy means reducing or eliminating the punishment completely, while being willing to forgive doesn't necessarily negate retribution. For example, there are programs where victims meet and forgive the criminals who injured them -- but still believe they should be punished. Murphy puts it this way: "Forgiveness is a change of heart toward someone -- overcoming the feelings of anger and resentment that typically come from being wronged by another."

ki77a [65]

Answer:

choices and uncertainty

Explanation:

Robert Frost in his poem "The Road Not Taken" has highlighted two major themes. The theme of choices and uncertainty have been focused by the poet. The poet is standing amidst two roads and among them he has to choose one. This dilemmatic situation leads the poet think about both the benefits and losses of both the options. He has to make the choice and there is no coming back after making the decision. The another important theme is the theme of uncertainty. The poet was not aware of such diversion that would fall in his path. The diversion was uncertain. This uncertain situation demanded the poet to take a strong decision at that point of time.
