Forgiveness's Breaking Point

   What is the limiting barrier of forgiveness? When a person acts out of anger or greed,selfish motivations, the act then becomes unforgivable. People cannot let there emotions drive them into an act that would harm others. People always have a choice and whatever their situation, they do get to decide their fates. They have to weigh between their morals and their own wants. A person must then live with their decision. 


   Of course, there are always situations that truly deserve forgiveness. Ex: "A doctor assists terminally ill patients to commit suicide." While this act is ghastly, we must remember who is carrying out the act and the background to the situation. These people are in pain and don't want to drag out the pain to live a few extra months in misery. The doctor has more knowledge about what these people are going through than the average person. This doctor is acting in an almost altruistic manner, feeling strongly for his patients and carrying out their final wishes.
