i hope those of you that can't forgive never need forgiveness in your life or your family's life.
Forgiveness on our part (humans) generally involves: a : to give up resentment of or claim to requital for <forgive an insult>
b : to grant relief from payment of <forgive a debt> ( merriam.com )

It does not mean that we should stop identifying actions that are morally wrong and criminal. Forgiveness does not mean we should never mention those misdeeds again nor speak out against it.

If the wrongs of Vick (not him as a person) were not condemned vocally and publicly, how would kids learn that such behaviors are NOT the road to success (except in Hollywood and pro sports)???
