Who's to Blame?

Everyone knows what you're talking about when you say "The Titanic." On April 15, 1912 the "unsinkable ship" sank. There are several individuals blamed for this tragedy. Personally, I don't think there's a single person that can be blamed for the event. I mean, nobody can really be held responsible for this. Accidents happen everyday...this one just happened to be rather severe. Innocent people lost their lives and it seemed to be pretty miserable. However, this won't change people's opinion on who's fault it was. Regardless of that, I do think that those who believe that, should forgive who they have chose to blame. Like I said, it was a tragic accident. That's a big weight to have on someone's shoulders if they felt accountable for the sinking of "The Titanic."

"He sought my pity, but had he any right to pity? Did a man of his kind deserve anybody's pity?"

"He sought my pity, but had he any right to pity? Did a man of his kind deserve anybody's pity?"

I'm not sure if there's a difference in pity or forgiveness, but I do think that the Nazi soldier does deserve forgiveness.  He told the jew "belive me, I would be ready to suffer worse and longer pains if by that means I could bring back the dead, at Dnepropetrovsk."  The soldier knows what he did was wrong.  He deserves forgiveness like everyone else.  The soldier said, "I have longed to talk about it to a Jew and beg forgiveness from him."  He's admitted his mistakes and made confessions.  If you are able to be the bigger person and know your rights from wrongs, then I believe you have earned forgiveness and compassion.  Regret:  Knows wrong.  Sorry, yet pitiful.  Ashamed.  The suffering from past mistakes.
