Today I read this:
Maimonides wrote:
It is forbidden for a person to be cruel and not appeased; instead, a person should be satisfied easily and get angry slowly. And at the moment when the sinner asks for pardon — pardon with a whole heart and a desirous soul. And even if they caused them suffering and sinned against them greatly, [the victim] should not take revenge or hold a grudge.
Another reasonable “should or ought” added to our list of good works.
Reasonable advice. But will a person do it next time, and the next time?
Just asking…. SGHolland
