Re: Random thought.
Well, what I also tried to say was you can forgive someone, yet have her/him go through a bit or a bit more of punishment. I also learned that as a christian, God will forgive you but that does not mean that he will never punish you simply because you learn from punishment. Similarly you could forgive the murderer of your daughter for example yet let him stay in prison so he learns his lecture. I don't really think Jesus ever wanted his followers to make fools of themselves either, he was quite enraged himself when he cleaned the temple of those moneylenders etc. inside it but that does not mean he couldn't forgive them.
Well, that's how I see it.
What happens when you keep a grudge are such stupid things as medieval family feuds etc.
