What provokes forgiveness?

What encourages people to forgive? Have you ever been in a position
where your livelihood, perhaps your very life, were at the mercy of
someone forgiving you or not? Prisoners are put in this siutation
before judges, although it could be claimed that the court deals less
with matters of firgiveness than with the law, whatever that means.

Back to forgiveness, if a Nazi solider were to cross enemy lines
there's always the freak chance that an American solider would forgive
him and not shoot him dead, but what really are the chances of this?
Or a less serious example, what if you didn't hand in your homework
and your professor refused to "forgive" you, i.e. give you another
chance. Should you not forgive them in turn for not forgiving you?

Some people have taken freak chances on people forgiving them with
mixed results.

OK we all know there is no such thing as matter and what is there is
relative to each individual - the more you look the more you see and things
like this - and words actually change and things like this so the bible
story we have may not be the same as yours.
And the "interpretation" or reading is dependant on whether you have
intelligence or whether you are stupid and read literally and believe every
word.
When you know synchronicity and truth - and know about "that" and can see
and read the parallel between the truth and words and stories like this -
the discrepancies and obvious untruths are there to prove the obvious
falsities that you do see if you have intelligence.

Forget forgiveness, try understanding. The greatest breakthroughs come
from the greatest illusions being shattered. Illusions that have to be
shattered for reality to come about. Reality that couldnt be tolerated
befor such 'training'.

You see we do not WANT to try understanding.
We do not WANT to know or understand "selfish" or "mean".
Why should we?
We are not that way ourselves - why should we spend time getting our heads
round...
