उत्तर
View on ‘Forgiveness is often better than punishment’
There is a famous proverb ‘To err is human, to forgive, divine’. When people apologise for their errors, it is best to forgive them and move past the incident. Forgiveness helps a person to introspect. It makes him realise the mistake and take note of the following corrective measure. Punishments often result in angst and embarrassment. People being punished might never correct their actions due to the guilt and shame they face. Punishment could make an individual immune towards the concept of ‘apology and correctiveness’. Therefore, when people genuinely apologise for their wrongdoings and feel repentant, the best course of action is to forgive them.
Counterview on ‘Forgiveness is often better than punishment’
When people commit mistakes, it sometimes becomes important to punish them. Some people learn it the hard way and only when they are punished, will they understand the severity of their mistakes. Consequently, forgiving people may lead to them taking things for granted and they might stop acknowledging their errors. For example, if a pickpocket is not punished for his action, he may go on to commit several more crimes. Punishment generates fear in the mind of an individual. It ultimately deters an individual from performing unacceptable, undesirable and unethical actions.
