Is it possible for human being to forgive?

It is easy to say that we can forgive partner's cheat, friend's betrayal or bother's/sister's lies. But can we forgive murder, rape, torture? Do you think that war victims can forgive their oppressors?

That depends on people, I personally always go for revenge.

It's difficult, but I think it's possible. And I think to truly be an enlightened being, forgiveness is absolutely necessary.

It depends on the person. I know most of us wouldn't (especially murder), but there's always that one really nice person that would.

It's impossible for me. I live on hate, ambition, jealousy and vengeance.

Yes, they can. But it may still hurt them to talk about it.

I definitely think its possible.
It just depends what kind of person you are, and where your heart lies.

Hm, I don't know about that. There just isn't hatred in my heart.

Well I respect you for that. I don't really hate anyone, but i'm very pety so I don't forgive easily.

Like you guys, I don't hate anyone, and I always try to forgive but still I believe that there are some things that no one can forgive.

In 1999 in my country broke out a war and my cousin died during the bombing of the city. He was 6 years old. My aunt is one of the best person I know but she'll never forgive this, and I don't blame her.

Mostly because of this, I believe that no matter how good person you are, something like this can't be forgiven.

Sure, I can forgive war criminals and despots, no problem, I can even forgive Hitler to a degree. That's not to say I don't want to see said people executed, they've forfeited their rights as human beings, so anything that's done to them is perfectly alright.

Forgiveness is one thing. I'll forgive them after they're dead though. ^_^

What's the point in forgiving them after they're dead?

Basically you say : Forgive your enemies, but never forget what they did.

That highly depends on the person. Some things can never be forgiven, I believe. But yo can still repent for them.
