If they knew better, they would do better. For anyone and anything, say, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."

[Surabhi Rani]

A deeply spiritual statement! The one we love or hate, the one we forgive or resent, is us. Fundamentally, humanity is one. The one we love and forgive or not is ourselves, our true selves, in disguise. We should forgive others because they know not what they do. All hate is self-hate.

[Amy Jackson]

If you were exactly in their shoes... That's just it. Those who know better or could have done better actually know more and can do better.
There are some who have passed through worse situations to the point of knowing and doing better and have forgotten where they came from.
Some don't forget and are more empathetic.
Some don't even know what it's like and shout the loudest.
If you look at the situation from the perspective of the person currently in that situation, you'd understand better and judge less.

[Sandre Lamar]

This is so cool. This is what I can refer to as forgiveable, simply because if I were in their shoes I would not have done better. I agree with the quote.

[Elendu Treasure]

People frequently don't realize they are wrong, or if they do, they may not have reached the realization and acceptance that their actions are wrong, which is why we must be willing to forgive them.
