Played that, but no, it's a question from a really good friend of mine. Maybe you guys have better answers, it's haunting him right now.Originally Posted by Hax

Sounds like he having trouble forgiving himself. There's nothing wrong with having regrets; if I for instance were to list all the things I wish I had not done, it would be a very long post. Life goes on though, and sometimes there's literally not a damn thing you can do about righting the wrong. In that situation all you can do is acknowledge that you were wrong, forgive yourself for it, promise yourself not to repeat the mistake, then move on. The ability to forgive yourself imho is absolutely crucial, as it also allows you to forgive others.

Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

The forgiveness is not for the wrongdoing

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Clearly you haven't seen the tactics they had to resort to in Gitmo after they ruled out the sound-room and waterboarding. Forgiving the terrorists will make them be denied their glorious seventy virgins.
