As human beings, we all do mistakes in life by hurting someone or by being mean to someone. So, I think if anyone is asking for an apology, we should forgive them for these small mistakes and move on. But, if someone has committed a crime, it depends from case to case if it can be forgiven or if the person needs to be punished. For instance, robbery, cheating, money laundering are the type of crimes that can be forgiven after spending years in jail. But, if someone has done a murder, rape or anything worse, they should be punished no mater how long it takes.
Hello, I think it depends on the crime that is committed, if a person has killed someone he should be punished no matter how long it takes. But if it's something more emotional like betrayal or the like I think it's up to you whether to forgive or not, quickly or not.
Hi, Forgiveness isn’t something easy to do, each person can forgive in a different way and not at the same time. In effect there is different degrees of forgiveness: when people make little mistakes like lie, cheat or steal ,we can forgive them years later. But at contrary if the crime is more important like an assassination, a terrorist attack or a rape for exemple, forgiveness is not the same and may never exist. Besides sometimes a legal punition (prison), isn’t enough for all victims or familie’s victims. They steal angry because they can’t be in peace like for exemple the ban of persecution in nothern Ireland for those who killed. In conclusion forgiveness depends on the type of crime which has been committed as well as the time to grieve.
Forgiveness definitively can’t be forced or hurried, and I think that it can take a very long time in case of terrible crime and even never occur. Therefore in such situations we expect that the courts punish criminals for a long period of time, even for the rest of their lives. But it happens that certain people change in prison and regret their crimes, consequently they can sometimes be forgiven and have their sentence reduced. In other cases criminals are so uncontrollable that even if eventually the victims and society forgive them, they can’t be liberated because of the risk of reoffending.
Hello, On this question my opinion is very mixed on the one hand forgiveness can be very complicated and very long for some families who have lost a loved one but that said can sometimes help them to mourn but on the other hand the time does not heal everything and scars mark the memory. I think some people need to be heard and to know that they are the victim in the story and that it is not their fault. Some self the number of years after the person must be punished so that the opposing party can move on. So in the end yes for me even in spite of the time the crimes must be punished.

Hello, on my opinion time can be a solution to forgive acts that hurt, offend, upset or humiliate because it's a time of reflexion to relativize but a crime can't be forgiven. Of course human can make mistake but I think a crime is more than a simple mistake. A life has been taken and a lot of person like family or friends of the victime hurt very hard. it's a question of justice, if at the moment of the crime justice didn't condemn the criminal, that's the role of our justice. I guess condemnation is a way to cure of the crime for the entourage of the victim. A crime is supposed to be punished and should be. THIBAULT Jadd T01
I made some mistakes : -In my opinion -actions -humiliate someone -a lot of people -families -victim are hurt -to heal someone after a crime is committed
Hello, For my part, I am pretty divided on the question. I think it all depends on the seriousness of the crime. But I think if the crime is too serious like a murder for example, even time cannot cancel an irreparable act. In the case of murder, we also have to think about the families of the victims and what they endure. I think for them it is important that the guilty have to be tried. But time should let criminals to ask for forgiveness. To conclude, I think that Humans remain not perfect with qualities and defaults. In time not all the crimes can be forgiven but if the offense or the crime is too big with too big consequences then people should be punished for their actions.
In my opinion, forgiveness is a process that can take a long time and it depends on each person. Moreover some mistakes are more serious than others and can’t be forgiven even with a long period of time. As far as I’m concerned, any crime should be punished by justice. No matter who the person who committed the crime is or why, the laws are there to do justice to the victims. When a mistake is made we must be punished no matter how long it takes. Nevertheless some mistakes can be forgive if there aren’t too serious and in this case time can be very useful to erase the mistakes and make a fresh start. Cuttaia Lou Ann
I think certain things can be forgiven over time but there are crimes or offences that must be punished no matter how long it takes. For example, a murderer must be punished and it might help the victim's family to forgive him.
Hello, First of all, I would say that when we get hurt (mentally or physically) by someone, we can forgive but we can’t forget. It’s not really a matter of time: we will learn to live with it but we won’t manage to forget except with medical methods or amnesia. However, it depends on people (the one who hurts and the one who get hurt), their relationship and what they did. Moreover, some people are able to forvige everything whereas others are unable to forgive anything. Finally, I think that we can deal with it when it’s from the ones we love and we really want to.
I think it depends on the crime committed, and especially the person, if the person has committed a crime and to kill a person being aware of his actions he should be punished with a severly punished, whereas if the person can have psychological problems, and if she commits murder or has committed theft or other less serious crime she should be punished less severely. Nouha Ben abdeljelil
I think that time should mainly be used for forgiveness. Why wouldn’t we give a second chance to people who made mistakes if they try to be forgiven and make an effort to change and learn about their mistakes. Being imperfect is human but some crimes can’t be forgiven. If someone commited a murder for example, they should be punished and stay for a long time in prison.
First of all, I think that forgiveness depends a lot on the situation, and especially on the person. Obviously, for very serious, traumatic crimes, like murder, time will not help, and these people have to pay for what they have done. But, I think that in normal life, it is a different story. Indeed, in the moment one can be upset, and often time will calm things down and allow a reconciliation. But it really depends on people, some people are very resentful, and despite the time, the disappointment does not go away. But, I think we are all human above all, and to err is human. So, no one should really be punished unless they have done something horrible. Time heals a lot of things, and it is thanks to it that humans can recover from situations that may have really hurt them, and get better. However, even if time allows us to feel better after a disappointment, it will never erase what a person could have done to us, and especially allows us to step back and reflect on things. Finally, time allows the questioning of oneself, allows to bring excuses, and that's why it allows a reconciliation, and I think it's sometimes a good solution.
I think that as a human we can all make small or big mistakes it depends of persons . There was small mistakes that we can forgive easier than bigger one like for exemple kill someone’s . You can make mistakes when you talk , you can say something that can hurt the person or you can make something like stealing which is very bad and less forgiveness. So I think time is not always the best thing and it depends of what it has happened . Andreea grandil
We all make mistakes so who are we really to not to forgive. However it is true that a criminal is more complicated to forgive, espacially by the scale of the crime, but humans can succed in improving themselves with therapies or punishments such as prison. It remains important to note that some major/extreme acts or people are not worth forgiveness.
Hello! This is a great question to which the answer can be nuanced. Initially, I would have said that yes, people should be punished for their crimes no matter how long it takes. If they had committed crimes, it means that they did something that is itself unforgivable. But the sentence of pain is timeless, this crime is permanent and will stay in people’s mind for the rest of their lives, they will have this weight on their hearts because they may have lost someone of their surrounding. And if moreover they know that this criminals will be/are free when they have shattered someone’s life, it is so hurtful and so much anger comes out. And I could definitely understand this resentment. Here are two examples that everyone will understand, the first one is minor compared to the second but happens more often and the second is everyone's business. In the world they are many unsolved crimes and as time passes without anything changing, some authorities decide to stop the investigation. But the pain of the families does not stop. Furthermore, during the Second World War, Nazi officers committed « crimes against Humanity » and they were so much to do that, that they couldn’t all be punished after the ailments they caused. These cases took so long to be set up, and the criminals so long to be found, that finally some officers weren’t punished for what they did because they were too old. And I would never understand, because when they deported millions of people to the camps, they were not resilient towards the deportees even though they were old. That is one of the reasons I do not understand about French Justice (and it is not the only one).
But somehow, criminals are one day forgiven, because many of them won’t stay in prison for the rest of their lives (of course it depends on the case, but that doesn’t change this fact).
If I were to give an opposite opinion, because it is debatable, some criminals are incriminated when their actions were legitimate. To my greatest despair, the case of Valerie Bacot fits perfectly. She underwent 24 years of rape, violence and submission. One finally committed the murder of her « husband », and was condemned to 5 years in prison. Unfortunately the film « Enough » is rarely real.
To speak about the fact that time should be used for forgiveness in less severe cases, it also depends on who, about what, who should be forgiven ? As Madame De Staël would say, « Who understands much forgives much ». But forgiveness also comes with acceptance, it is really hard to accept. To my mind when you have to forgive, it’s because you have been betrayed and I believe I couldn’t pass over this, I would like but I don’t think I could. But if it is a little betrayal and that my love is more powerful than my hatred maybe I could forgive.
In conclusion, forgiveness depends on what we are talking about : crimes or with emotional consequences. Both sides could be defended if we take the good examples. Personally, I couldn’t forgive crimes but maybe betrayals if I love the person very much.
