Only if it is detrimental to self.
Can a question be too hard?
Context/perspective/perception:
When acceptance becomes the reality, then deep inside is the capacity for forgiveness. Where one goes, we all go. Retribution? vengence? Nothing has changed. Imperfection? Nothing is new. Evil perpetration? As much a part of life as the air we breathe. Forgiveness? A product of faith."The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" as the scriptures state.
Each in their own time, in their own place, with their own understanding.
I don't believe it is ever wrong to forgive, regardless of the wrong, injury or insult you are facing. It's never easy to forgive, it can be a bitter medicine to swallow, but in the end it will always produce a large measure of healing and inner peace.
There might be some offense that is beyond our human strength to forgive, but I still believe that we always need to try and let go of our rage and need for revenge if we want our own spirit to heal and thrive.
Forgiveness is a personal thing and I do not think that one person can tell another person whether thaey are too forgiving or not forgiving enough.
We all have to listen to our own hearts and make our own decisions.
For me, there are unforgivable acts. And that probably says as much about me as it does about the other person. I have not reached that higher plane of spirituality that would allow me to forgive everyone for everything.
