It makes me dream of being in the military and being beaten by being gathered, and still having a bad situation at that time, although it has been about 30 years since I was discharged. I have now forgiven those who tortured, beaten, humiliated and trampled me. So am I perfect? Have I ever broken other people's hearts? Am I a perfect person who has never broken, harassed, trampled on, or done anything that I can't pay for in my life? All humans are sinners. There is none righteous, not even one.
Do I really need to forgive? How much should I forgive? Once, twice, three times... 7 times, 70 times? 490 times?
