Forgive and Forget.

“The crux of the matter is, of course, the question of forgiveness. Forgetting is something that time alone takes care of, but forgiveness is an act of volition, and only the suffer is qualified to make the decision” (Wiesenthal, 98) Forgive and forget is a typical moral many live by. Where “time alone takes care of” the suffering of the past, the memories will forever be hold. Everyone questions weather or not they should forgive either a best friend, mom, dad, brother, or sister. And, even God at some point in time. There are things that happen where we'll blame God or someone that the matter had nothing to do with. "He who is incessantly tortured in spite of his innocence soon loses his faith..." (Wiesenthal, 80) Being tortured is nothing that is God's fault. Sometimes, things happen that we can't control.
