What would you consider the most unforgivable thing that a person could do to you? Something that someone could do, that they could never take back?

If it has been done to you, what happened? How did you treat that person afterward, if you kept in contact with them? If you didn't, do you regret ever severing off from them?

Have you done anything unforgivable? How did people respond to that--did they let you get a word in edge-wise to explain, or did they abandon you? Did you have to find your own way afterwards? How did it go for you, if so?

Do you think there's anything that one can do to earn forgiveness, depending on the severity of what happened? Do they deserve it? Does it depend? And is there a certain point that someone's allowed to give up on trying to find it, and should just stop trying to be good?

I'm curious as to what everyone's answers will be. Please don't give anymore info than you're comfortable with; these are just things that have been on my mind, lately. And please don't be rude to each other.

[this seems. infinitely more like a stream of conscious than anything actually coherent, but there's at least an attempt at maintaining some modicum of privacy. have at. be it on main or giving yourself a nice plurk-style anon-name, go for it.]

I think most people are deserving of forgiveness, but like others have said, whether or not they're forgiven is up to the other person to decide. Everyone has their own threshold, though. For example, I don't think I could find it in me to forgive people who love seeing innocent people suffer.

Now...I've done things people may consider unforgivable in my past, but to me, I did what I had to in order to survive. Whether or not those people forgive me for that is something I choose not to dwell on, because I was able to turn things around down the line.

Still, when it comes to other things...I guess the person I've had the hardest time forgiving is myself.

[It feel strange to go back to this post, but the little ping on Sayaka's phone does get her to look when she's alone--she's a little surprised that Yoon would answer, especially after all he's been through, but...

There's a small part of her that smiles, that he can face this so strongly.]

A lot of people told me that you (in general) can be your own worst critic when it comes to things you've done. I think at this point, it's just a natural fact of life. One that I'm...still adjusting to, I think. That and realizing that things aren't as within my control as I've always been used to.

...You have a good way of thinking of things, Yoon. Turning the negatives in your life into something positive. It's an admirable quality that I'm hoping I can learn someday.

I hope you continue down the path you've chosen. As long as it makes you happy, you know? You must have found something good down that path, if it's made you firm in your resolve like this.
