    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    No, it's really not. What exactly is evil again?

    Was what Trump did evil because he did it? Or, was it also evil when Obama did it?

    Was lynching evil only when an innocent person was lynched? Or, was it also evil when a child rapist/murderer was lynched?

    If it means anything else to you -- you haven't forgiven.

    Thoughts?
    Forgiveness means you accept a mistake.

    Or, if you are truly forgiven, does it mean what you did is wiped away? Gone forever?
    No. It means accepting a wrong as a mistake.

    One has to be able to separate 'mistake' from 'method of operation'.

    Forgiveness cannot exist when the event(s) were intentional acts of harm. There may be acceptance of the character of a person, but it doesn't mean the acts have been forgiven, and even less likely, forgotten.
