In reality choosing punishment or forgiveness is relitive to the sevarity of the wrong that has been done to you. For an example- if someone kills your brother, you want them to be punished for it. But, if someone takes your bag, but no damage was done, it's better to forgive rather than punish them for something so petty. Forgiveness is better because it leaves everyone feeling happier in the end, and we could use more happines in todays society and economy. Side: depends

forgive and forget...that is the best thing to do! even for your soul and mind! forgiveness simply shows that you are more superior and more mature! plus when you forgive..you learn to be more open towards your true feelings and end up relieved and in one peace with yourself. put it on yourself, would you want to be forgiven or punished for a sin no matter how small it was? ;) Side: forgiveness

It is better to forgive somebody, but if a wrong is so great, then punishment is societally required. For the religious: If you do wrong, you can pray for God to save your immortal soul, but your mortal body will be punished - possibly with death, if your wrong is bad enough. Side: Punishment

Every situation, whether you've one wrong or right deserves consequences. If someone does wrong, they deserved to punished. Granted there punishment should only be decided by the severity of their wrongdoing. No matter how minuscule the incident, people should be punished. Forgiveness will only let the person off, and won't be an easy reminder to stop and think before the do wrong again. Side: Punishment

While that claim is true, You must also understand not everything needs to be punished. What if someone wronged you and it wasnt really a big deal? Or what if they wronged you and apologized sincerely? Is it still right to punish them out of spite? absolutly not. Forgiveness shows you have morals and know that not everyone can always be perfect.

Think of something that is very important to you, your house, your loved ones, your retirement, your dog, your country, your church whatever it is and someone killed or destroyed it. If you truly could forgive someone for that completely and truly you could welcome them into your home and feed them, laugh with them even marry, or make love to them. I can not in all honestly say I would be able to do that (unless i truly know a person and there sincerity) and I don't think Ive ever met a person that could. Its easy to say you could but when it comes down to it could you really do it? Side: Punishment
