And is he saying that is always a negative thing? If a villager in the Sudan says 'that warlord killed my family and he was wrong to do so' that criticism in order to justify the speaker. Is it wrong? As I say, I would need to hear more before responding - I am wary of discussions of forgiveness that try to downplay wrong-doing and the appropriateness of calling for justice when evil has been done so don't want to read my own hang-ups into this comment.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923073692315462946noreply@blogger.com
