The challenge here is to think of a 'wrong' that you might do unto another person, or to society generally. A crime, but not necessarily a crime.. maybe something bad in a relationship... anything.
Try to state a wrong, and how you would right it... right it, to me, means both in the victim's mind, and in your own.
Try to choose a unique one, or criticise or suggest a different solution to one someone else already used!
Thanks again!

No. A wrong can never be made right. It can age, and the memory of it can fade, and the after effects can diminish more and more with time,
but the actual event changes the course of history and forever changes the people who experience it....even if there is "forgiveness", it doesn't change the raw cause and effect which occurs.
Let's go on a grand scale and take the holocaust as a for instance. It forever changed the course of history, the repercussions of it we are STILL living with today and will far into the future..(Israel, middle east, terrorism)
...the people who lived it bury their misery and secrets but the effects live on in their children and those who knew them.
It goes the same on grander and smaller scales. If someone victimizes you, takes something from you which is irreplaceable, all the forgiveness in the world will not give you that back and as much as these religious nutters try to convince you, never really helps you get over the trauma inflicted. Forgiveness only goes so far but the broken heart and completely altered future never changes.
So no, wrongs are never made right.....

No it can not, because the energy submitted by that wrong really never leaves, it simply becomes a tolerated forgiveness that surly will pop up somewhere down the road, so it really never is set right.

A wrong cannot be taken back. However, you can forgive the person who wronged you, of feel repentance for what you have done. Try to make-up for what you feel you have been wronged about. The good news is that our creator Jehovah God forgives you unconditionally. Sadly, we as mere humans find it hard to forgive the wrongs done to us. We have to work on that and pray hard for help in forgiving.

I think it is more up to the person you did wrong to, to make it right. What I mean is forgiveness. If that person can forgive you, in time it will be right, but if that person cannot, you always seem to suffer more.

It is wrong not to honor God and not to accept Him as a Savior, but if you ask forgiveness and repent from the wrong and accept Him, God makes things right.

It was set right when it was brought in to being and had the chance to go wrong... just an idea...

Yes ,you could have cheated someone or robbed them and you could give back to help them out.You could even murder someone they love ,but of course you cannot bring th person back but can ask for forgiveness and do all you can for them from jail or if let out .

Any wrong can be set right only with repentance and forgiveness.

A wrong is always corrected when we forgive. Forgive ourselves first, then we understand how to forgive others.
