FORGIVENESS--HOW
FAR CAN IT GO?
BY SIR LEO CHIOZZA MONEY)
Every woman knows that life is only possible in terms of forgi vences. Every
knows how บาด much men depend upon woman's
amazing powers of forgiveness; worthless men, indeed, 'trade apon those powera
I have long thought that in the understanding of forgiveness and what is implied in it is to be found the essence of a true morality.
Religion has much to say of the orgiveness to sins, and the plain man is too often "revolted by the conception that a short cut to hen- ven is to be found in the commit- ting of a great crime, and the im mediate acceptance thereafter if-a dogma of salvation through" forgi-
veness..
A man may obtain the unearned forgiveness of a good woman, and in doing so may easily forget that while one person has both the po wer and the right to forgive no- other for wrong done to the forgi ver, the action which is the subject of the forgiveness not only remains on record, but has its eternal con- sequenccs as an unalterable fact.
The man who performs any sort of netion or commits any sort of offence cannot escape the consequ ences of what has been done, or cancel out what the moving £nger has written.
In short, forgiveness is not and cannot be the same thing as absolu- tion. There is no possible release from consequences.
A may forgivo B for something done, but the something done re- mains and is done for all time with o chain of consequences which can- not be foretold.
Thus forgivener resolves itself into a matter of personal relation- ship between two people which"enn" not destroy or revoke the action which is the subject of the forg veness.
