If You Need To Be Forgiven...And Can't Forgive Yourself...?

Question

Will you commit a crime again?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what kind of "crime" you mean. Legal, or moral.
I believe that someone who commits a legal crime wouldn't have a thought about being forgiven, or forgiving themselves; they'd likely do it again.
Need to be forgiven, or forgive oneself for something done that harmed another isn't that simple.
We first need to examine the reason, motivation for having done it. Intentionally or not, were we really to blame, did we have any other options & so on. From the exploration of just one act, we can learn much about ourselves.
We may "regret," but having "come to terms" is, in essence, a sort of self forgiving.
Understanding is the key word. It's then very important to address what you regret with the person or person's you may have hurt. They need to understand; if they do, they won't even have to actually SAY they forgive you. You'll know they have.
There are certain times when "I'm sorry" is appropriate, & can mean a lot. I recently had someone seriously mess up my life for months to come, & she knows it. I candidly admit that in this particular situation, if she had EVER said she was sorry, my feelings would be more accepting.
This month seems one of many insights. I made a decision I thought would "protect" others, & the consequences were anything but. I realized I mustn't assume that kind of control, & I'll NEVER DO IT AGAIN. I didn't "forgive" myself; I understood myself.
This is a very complex question. I hope I've made a tad of sense.

Edit: I have much respect for LORD Z's answers--but--"forgiveness of others" will truly backfire if you haven't first resolved this with yourself. You can't be forgiven for something you don't understand. Once you truly understand, you won't make the same "mistake" again.

Answer 2

That's the last i would personally do

It's like turning a vaccum into a blackhole. If i already can't forgive myself and need forgiveness, why commit a crime in which more forgiveness is needed? Morever, that extra crime may cross the mere thought of forgiveness in some peoples' minds, and based on the fact that some people can't forgive themselves until someone else can, some people will be sucked in and drawn to nowhere

Answer 3

This depends on who thinks I need to be forgiven. If I think I need to be forgiven, then I obviously think I shouldn't have done it in the first place, and that sense of guilt will prevent me from repeating it. If other people think I need to be forgiven but I don't, I probably will commit said "crime" again because I don't see it as a crime and I don't respect their opinion.

Answer 4

I think before you can be forgiven, you have to forgive yourself, and sometimes that is very hard to do. I have never committed a crime.

Answer 5

I will asume that you are talking about a crime within your self and not a crime against the law. In which case to forgive your self you must understand yourself and why you need to forgive.

Answer 6

Crime is relative to the society you are in and has nothing to do with forgiveness.

Answer 7

Yes most likely. When people act "normal" in a dire situation, like when something bad's gone down-a death, divorce or rejection in the family-, you only want to harm them. it's human beingness....you will commit crime until your pain is heard...

Answer 8

No.
Learn to forgive yourself. You will be living with you all your life. Why spend it torturing yourself over things that are over and done with? Get on with your life.
You are worthy of your own love.

Answer 9
