“There is something required on the part of the bully, more so than his victims. To let the school bully continue in his ways is being very cruel to the others.”

True. Telling the victims to forgive is making them a victim twice. And in our mamby pamby world, this happens more and more

We need real men to be dads

Telling the victims to forgive is making them a victim twice.

Respectfully, CottonBall, I must disagree.

It takes strength to forgive those who have done wrong to us but when we forgive them we are behaving like Christ, Who asked the Father to forgive those who were killing him.

Forgiving strengthens us and frees us from a heavy and unhealthy weight which hinders our recovery from injury.

Forgiveness also opens the door to our loving our enemies.

My enemies probably don’t care if I love them, but it’s freeing for me!
