I think I see your point, Echo.
An individual can ask for forgiveness, and someone can forgive them.
An individual does not ask to be redeemed. Only they can redeem themselves.
The external party cannot redeem another individual...they can only pass judgement on that individual.
Almost some points. I accept that and kudos to EZ.
However, what if one cannot forgive one's self? Is there STILL redemption?
Probably not...because someone who cannot forgive themselves judges themselves as a failure, which eliminates the likelihood that they will successfully strive for redemption.
Hmmm ... and if one is forced by circumstance to do what they feel is not right -- the action itself -- and even understands they did what they had to do, but feels guilty nonetheless,
you say there is no redemption?
