In order to forgive, it is necessary to admit the guilt of those asking for forgiveness. As long as they ask. They can only forgive on their own behalf. You can forgive the killer, but it is always your forgiveness, not the victims or other people who suffered from the crime. And that is not the same as justifying criminals. Forgiveness is needed for the victim, more than for the perpetrator, to reduce the level of psychological suffering associated with that trauma. Therefore, each of us has the right to forgive. But nobody has the right to forget. We owe it to those who did not survive the genocide of the past two years.
