Is forgiveness always a virtue or is it sometimes a flaw?

Some great Indian leaders forgave their would be assassins.

Mahatma Gandhi : This Indian leader faced five assassination's attempts.

His car was bombed in Pune that left many hurt.

Efforts were made to derail his special train near Pune, Maharashtra.

A bomb exploded during daily prayer meeting at Birla House, Delhi.

Nathuram Godse , his would be assassin unsuccessfully tried to attack with a dagger.

Forgiveness : Despite protests from his followers ; Gandhi ji forgave his assassins.

He reportedly asked cops not to register case against his attackers.

Assassination : On 30th October 1948, assassination was attempted on sixth time.

Unfortunately, it was successful that left every one shocked.

Facts : Gandhi ji was the epitome of forgiveness; his assassins weren’t !

Kindness towards incorrigible doesn’t make sense.

Perhaps : The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget. : Thomas Szasz
