They used to be.

I think a forgiving heart is one that does not consider the past/present actions of a person as permanently defining of all they are and could ever be, almost like you believe in the potential they still hold regardless of the action they committed, but that does not at all mean they never atone for what they did, and in fact, the clearest indication that they still hold that potential to be greater is the fact that they are wholly willing to atone. I think that is fair.

This man is so great because he puts so much energy into being human. It’s been a long time since I was so strapped to the idea. I know when I go it’ll be held on by a thread.

THAT THUMBNAIL!! 🔥🔥🔥

Forgiveness is not a mandate, it is a tool. It is there purely to prevent you from being in the "when you only have a hammer then every problem is a nail" situation. The mandate is judgement (as in determining the best course of action) and such judgements are to be held to account. Punishment and mercy BOTH must be justified. Unjustified punishment is itself is a crime, but unjustified mercy renders you an accomplice in whatever crime was committed by the offender and not just the crime they are currently on the hook for but any subsequent crimes they commit on release. The concept of unjustified mercy is something people really need to learn about and it seems like that knowledge is either actively suppressed or, worse still, actively promoted as a false virtue.

Thank you. I enjoy your perspective.

Premium grade wheat. I've pondered on the best way to justify forgiveness that would allow a new balance. Mercy is one-sided and the same goes for repentance, either one alone is not enough to avoid further transgressions nor can it fully heal the past. And this is the key. Accountability to each other holds both the mercuful and the repentant together, reinforced by self-discipline.

That thumbnail though! 100% fire.

I would argue that forgiveness is necessary. In that we realize our own convictions whilst judging others for theirs. It may help tilt the scale towards a truer sense of justice, or at least provide homeostasis. To say that all punishment is born out of necessity assumes that the punishment always fits the crime. That's why the judiciary system is so complex, but can also be played like a game, at least according to game theory. I think Jordan's analysis is correct, there can not be forgiveness without judgement, because we are constantly thinking about the future of the species, even at an unconscious level, which is why societies built on religious foundations last so long.

I'm really going over this with a fine tooth comb in my mind. I am not sure I am tracking with Dr. Peterson accurately. My children, who are now all in their 30's and have their own families are still suffering from their inability, or perhaps more accurately, unwillingness to forgive me for how horrible I was when they were growing up. I am not wanting them to forgive me for my sake, that is not something that I should ever want or ask for. Rather, I am wanting them to find forgiveness for the peace that I hope it will being them, because I see what the lack of foregiveness is doing to them, even if we never have the relationship I would like for us to have. So, I am trying to figure out how to help them move in that direction, or if I should just put them in Gods hands.

Why on earth or in heaven would you never want or ask for your children's forgiveness? God's pattern for forgiveness is there to be followed. Read Psalm 86:5. It shows God is waiting to forgive. What is he waiting for? For people to show repentance and to desire & ask for forgiveness, so that reconciliation can happen, or at least begin to happen. Your children are much more likely to forgive you (which will ultimately be for their benefit, as you say), if you show a truly repentant heart (confess with words and demonstrate with actions), and ask them for their forgiveness. In fact it's very possibly the thing they are waiting for. That is the beginning of the process and indeed that is how you put the situation in God's hands (in the event they don't respond immediately). Bless you Erik. Trev, Derby, UK.

You can't put them anywhere because you abdicated all authority over them by treating them in such an injurious way. They're already in God's hands. All you can do is, if you don't already, truly repent and ask for their forgiveness. What they decide to do after you've asked is really none of your business, though we can hope they may forgive and lead to a restoration of the relationship. Still, if you're waiting for them to find forgiveness because you see what they're doing, maybe all you're really seeing in them is what's really in you.

You summed it up best I've seen. It isn't that forgiveness requires of the injured to put themselves back into the identical situation they were in before. Nor that the person who injured them must be restored to exactly the position they were before. If a man steals his neighbor's wallet because it was out on the table. The man who had his wallet stolen, should he forgive, doesn't have to keep setting out his wallet as he did before as a proof that he has "forgiven" his neighbor. No, he forgave his neighbor, but his actions after are allowed to be different. Now, he might actually put his wallet out again, but it isn't a requirement either. But what often is lost in this discussion is that "forgiveness" results in a change of spirit for the forgiver, but true repentance results in the change of the one being forgiven. If the man with the stolen wallet forgives, but the stealer doesn't repent, then there certainly is no requirement for the wallet to be left out. In fact, we would regard the once injured man a fool (fool me twice...). So forgiveness is often misunderstood in much the same way as repentance. And if that isn't enough, accountability is misunderstood along side of mercy. Mercy in the above example being, the forgiving man who had his wallet stolen hears the repentance of the man who stole it and has mercy in not requiring the money inside of it to be returned. But, what I see frequently is that the injurious party claims those they injured are now injuring them by not giving "forgiveness". However, the "forgiveness" as they wish it is simply to forget that the injurer is capable of harm. And so, the guilty show their lack of repentance and so, yes, should you forgive them, but you would be a complete fool to allow them back into their previous level of trust in your life. They are essentially asking you to have the same lack of love for yourself they had for you when they first injured you. This is how words are turned exactly backwards and, in so doing, exist as proof themselves that the one's speaking them are indeed the guilty. Their own words condemn them. When someone steals your wallet, then screams at you to forgive them....your response to remove them from your life isn't coming from the judgement you have for them. It is coming from the healthy self love you show for yourself by not allowing them to injure you in such a way again. The misunderstanding of this entire process is how people succumb to abusers and their abuse. This is the same process abusive tyrannical governments use to attack their citizens. This is the same method the Devil uses to make us feel too small to stand up to him. This is why I say, "I can forgive someone for their actions while simultaneously swinging the executioner's axe on their neck". Addendum on mercy: The only person who can decide to give mercy to another is the one who stands to be abused by trusting the guilty again. You and I as adults cannot show mercy to pedophiles because, should they one day walk free, we aren't the ones who will be harmed should they choose to harm again. Which is why some crimes are so great that the only solution is to separate the guilty from their life because their continued existence in this life poses a threat to those who have no ability to protect themselves. A pedophile locked away forever may find a way to escape one day, but no 4 year old will ever be capable of defending themselves from any pedophile. This is why the death penalty is the only acceptable form of accountability for someone who would harm a child.

Your language hasn't detracted from my enjoyment of the conversation. Though, I'm not certain what you mean by "texting is a windmill" is in this case because windmill is an unusual word to use to describe such a thing. I agree with you that the innocent may be wrongfully executed. Which is why any justice system that would give executions must first adhere to the rule that "it is better for 9 guilty men to go free than 1 innocent man to be found guilty". That's where proof beyond a shadow of a doubt is a requirement. If there is even the slightest possibility for doubt, then no guilt may be found (though guilt may actually be the case). I would say those currently in charge of our justice system in the USA do not meet that requirement, therefore, they have no right to complete executions. That being said, if those people were trustworthy, then yes, executions are back on the table. Also execution does not remove the ability to repent, it simply reduces the amount of time one has to actually do so. Execution by the state by hanging is identical to that of you or I shooting a burglar in the night. In both cases justice is dispensed and in both cases it results in the death of the guilty. The difference is, the state took longer to accomplish the goal than the cop did. By the metric of time, the guilty should count themselves lucky to have been caught by the state and not by his fellow man as his life has been artificially prolonged. The sum of all of God's commands is to love your neighbor. God also said to not murder. But God never said anything about passivism and not killing. In fact, He has told many of His followers to take an action that results in them killing many. I believe you and I are in complete agreement of where society should go, we're simply discussing how to get there. And that's a discussion worth having because I may think going around the mountain is smartest, but you might see a pass through it that is far better.

I mean it by how I am guess that your feeling that there is a deep meaning when you do talk or speak about what there is. Just I have felt similar but have notice people at your age kinda do that when speaking. Hasn't always work for the point to be seen actual about someone else but more of yourself in how your putting has just great felt meaning to it and it does feel like the amount of times its done starts to play a effect that is to put it. Not in my opinion people don't have to the capabilities or not with the skill practice to do the same as speaking with deep meaning to themselves which can place a difference in how one may take hearing from someone beside themselves not being able to have that felt as strong enough when listening. Try to explain how people can reach that skill of talking with themselves or towards themselves with another or without someone to be on the same level of how your reaching to so much in how it can be confusion in directions, and many people stop themselves from letting it happen. Difficulties would be nice to hear what they are to be identified better for people to watch out for it in their daily lifes or how they can spot it with themselves to have a realization of their own within there life that they will remember your voice as wisdom. Betting that is what your truly reach for people to have that they think or have you be a symbol in their life's. Tell me if I got it you figure out in your most desirable outcome with others.

Revenge has its merits. It is fear of retribution and revenge that stops many people from violating you or your things. Sometimes if you don’t retaliate, then you look/are weak and that can lead to worse scenarios. Of course every situation is different, but I think sometimes, although not often, revenge is necessary. I think it would be easier to forgive after revenge has been taken too. Depending on the situation!

Forgiveness is a you action. Holding ppl accountable is mainly a community action.

Judgement, in the sense of deciding what should ultimately become of the offender belongs to God. Judgement, in the sense that we judge another’s actions as right or wrong-particularly as those actions impact us - is necessary to survive in life without being a chronic victim. Forgiveness - as it relates to accepting a sincere apology and moving forward without holding a grudge is difficult, but necessary in a civil society and, most especially, in an intimate relationship. Forgiveness interpreted to mean “anything goes” is the antithesis of civil society.

Our victory is in the blood of Jesus, the authority of Jesus, and in the anointing of Jesus! We are anointed to share the Truth of God’s Word to a dying and hopeless world.

I think of judge not lest ye be judged to mean that an individual should not judge someone who they don't know, because in reality I will never be in a situation where a person I actually know hasn't judged me. It's like a ban on gossip.

There is a disturbing difference in volume between Mr. Peterson's voice and the music in the end.

I have a better take on that topic: To not forgive someone is to refuse to take back the role of holding them Accountable. 👏👏👏

JP finna use this Video thumbnail as his Album cover.

Forgiveness has been essential to my journey. It is something that is fundamental to most religious schools of thought. Indeed it was known if you do not have the capacity to forgive, you can not love. Forgiveness however should not be mistaken with poor boundaries or no boundaries. What is wrong, is still wrong, but your choosing to move on from that and it doesn't mean you'll tolerate more of the same. It's just taking hold of what happened being aware of it and choosing to move forward in a new way. Establishing a new relationship improving communication and relational dynamics and being self aware enough to know what you can accept tolerate and what you can not. If you communicate your boundaries and hold tight to truth (not 'your truth' not 'their truth' but what is factually and tangibly true). Anything else is perceptions and feelings. And when we mistake that for truth we're really in trouble. Harm and evil must and should be condemned. But your views and your feelings are yours. And it's about denouncing what is wrong not the person. As people are often sick and this sickness takes many forms. But truth is fact and the world and can never be negated for long and the repercussions for doing so are severe. Hence, my concern in the modern world with more and more people becoming victims of their own delusion. It's not a kindness to buy into a lie, it's just leaving people open to being naked and vulnerable. Truth is what we gird I most vulnerable areas with. If we don't then it's where we become most fragile.

😎 👍

We are all somewhere on the spectrum of good and evil. It seems that some level of randomness is involved with where on that spectrum you occupy the most. Really good people generally don’t choose to be really good people. It’s a calling from within. Similarly most really evil people weren’t good, and then suddenly decided to flick the evil switch. Most people aren’t serial killers because they don’t want to be serial killers. So that’s one perspective that I think helps with forgiveness. Wouldn’t it suck to be evil. For sure, some people move a lot on the moral spectrum, but there is also a significant degree of randomness. Aren’t you lucky you have the wisdom and propensity to not be evil. And if you are evil and have an adequate IQ, you can’t ignore the fact that you are a slave to the darkness within that perverts your instincts and ultimately makes you suffer, one way or another.

IMO, forgiveness & holding accountable should both be done to maximize the good. If someone wronged you, and genuinely repents (tries to pay you back for the wrong he did and makes an effort to make sure it doesn't happen again), then forgiving is an obvious thing to do, because holding it against him won't accomplish anything. If he doesn't repent, then don't forgive him, because he'll do it again if you give him the chance. Even God in the Bible expects people to repent before forgiving them. Although, from a psychological perspective, it might be better to let go of resentment towards an unrepentant sinner (although you still don't trust that person).

Judgments can ONLY be just if they come from the place of the "worse case scenario." Can a person who has never used drugs best tell a person how to deal with drugs? Can a person who has never been eaten by evil speak to the nature of evil as it eats? The ROOT IS LOVE. Only love can overcome evil. Not logic or reason .. sure they observe the material manifestations .. but only LOVE can be both father and executioner. The amount of evil to overcome within myself is something I did not bargain on. But as Dr P himself said, the shadow in not intergated until we can see ourselves as an Auschwitz guard .. and LIKING IT. Sick stuff .. but it works gold.

You can forgive someone but you never forget what they did to you, you don't become evil because bad things happen to you, you remain clever and avoid repetition of those events in life. Because that's the difference between a victim and a victor but to win at life you don't ever forget what they did to you otherwise unknowingly that might happen again in different combinations of events but it does happen if you are not clever with your affairs.

When I was 14 when I forgave my very abusive brother. He had gone through a military challenge program and had changed a lot. I forgave him because of God. He is still an effort sometimes to be a sister to because he still is a little bit of a narcissist, but God makes it manageable.

If person does something wrong and is really sorry about it, it is okay to forgive it. But not to forget it. They must know not to ever do it again or all trust will be lost. You will still need to forgive them in your heart to keep them from living in your mind. But you should have nothing more to do with them.

Repentance is key to reconciliation which is needed for true forgiveness, no one remembers that.

Who took this iconic thumbnail 😎

Pretty well spoken Jordan, but I believe you would admit, it's not the whole story here, in this small clip. Here is what I have learned through the decades: Forgiveness, if we think deeply about what Christ taught in the scriptures, is being willing to bear the cost of the pain of their offense, no matter how bad it is. That willingness comes not from our own being, our own wholeness, intellect, or any other part of our own standards of excellence, which are always faulty at best; but rather it comes from the deep understanding that we ourselves are forgiven - for everything we have done - the totality of every single offense we have ever committed, toward God, or mankind. This flood of well-being we possess for such a reality, must NOT BE WITHHELD, from anyone. Otherwise, we chain ourselves to their offenses against us, our whole lives. That is self destructive too. A heart that withholds forgiveness CANNOT, cannot, is not able, to experience the deep forgiveness and love of God, through Jesus Christ, at the same time.

Forgiveness is not always needed. Some do not deserve the kind notion.

The coining of the phrase, "FORGIVE AND FORGET", is not of Biblical origin. Forgiveness is something we should do, but thousands of years of Biblical history has been recorded for us to REMEMBER ... not forget. I have only ever found one verse in the Bible that even puts the 2 words in the same sentence, and in it's context God says he will forgive, and make himself forget the past sins against him.

Forgiveness isn't permission for "them" to do it again. Mostly, it's not about "them" at all. It's an opportunity for the receiver to let go of the inner negativity the infraction caused.

The Beatitudes are a guide. Forgiving is a spiritual exercise. 3Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth. 6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. 7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the Sons of God. 10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. All of these relate to the injustice of this world and how we cleanse ourselves from the burden of resentment. As Peterson says, it’s not about ignoring injustice.
