You would think.... but that's why YOU spout stuff you don't truly understand.
How many kids do you have? I have three. One of which died.
I have been financially ruined, spiritually ruined, and ruined in any other way you could possibly imagine.
You are on the right track.... 20 years of being a self-absorbed a$$hole will get you here, we are making our name cards for the next meeting... how do you spell your name?

I was wondering why we all don't forgive everyone that we thought wronged us and everything that has happened to us. It is only us who really suffers by not forgiving even the worst of people in the world. We may think that some people just don't deserve to be forgiven but really that just punishes us. It doesn't make sense to not forgive someone when you really think about it.
The reason why I don't forgive a lot of the time is because I have a hard time unlearning the judgment philosophy that I was taught as a kid.
Why don't you forgive others or at least a certain person in your life?

Would it not be a criminals paradise if all negative actions were "forgiven"?

Why forgive anyone? Forgiveness requires one to judge and only feeds the ego.
Why kNot instead learn there's no reason to forgive anyone and from there, Love everyone, including yourself?

A very close friend of mine was molested by both of her brothers and her father. At 29, she still has night terrors, occasionally wets the bed and is on more medications than I'd care to think about. Should she forgive them? Hate has a place in day to day life.

If only it were that easy..
The Perfection in Imperfection Paradox states:
That if Imperfection is the end goal, when Imperfection is reached, it's Perfect.
This is an Imperfect Utopia.
Learn the truth and from there, it's easy to Love everyone but no matter how much Love you have, stoopidity can still piss you off, especially if you's a toad.

I know some people have to go through extreme situations that involve sexuality, humiliation, and/or abuse, but wouldn't suffering from that experience(s) drive one to seek relief from the suffering? Apparently not, but from what I understand, it is not always easy to move forward especially if someone doesn't feel worthy to have any sort of love in their life.
Unfortunately we live in a world where we look at bad people as the nothing more than a monster. Usually the bad people have been victims themselves. Although when we get hurt by others we usually don't care about why someone did what they did but only concern ourselves with how it affects us.
I found that by looking at why people do what they do, it helps to forgive.
