Living openly #gay he speaks extensively about gay life in the US over the course of several decades, loss and mourning through #HIV, shame, #BDSM and the specific importance #masturbation had for him in discovering his own genitals and sexual joy.

Tiger also speaks very openly about difficult topics rarely addressed like #suicide and feelings of #revenge among intersex individuals.

A quotation from Gilbert Murray

It is a scheme which occurs again and again in Euripides, a study of oppression and revenge. Such a subject in the hands of a more ordinary writer would probably take the form of a triumph of oppressed virtue. But Euripides gives us nothing so sympathetic, nothing so cheap and unreal. If oppression usually made people virtuous, the problems of the world would be very different from what they are. Euripides seems at times to hate the revenge of the oppressed almost as much as the original cruelty of the oppressor; or, to put the same fact in a different light, he seems deliberately to dwell upon the twofold evil of cruelty, that it not only causes pain to the victim, but actually by means of the pain makes him a worse man, so that when his turn of triumph comes, it is no longer a triumph of justice or a thing to make men rejoice. This is a grim lesson; taught often enough by history, though seldom by the fables of the poets.

Gilbert Murray (1866–1957) Australian-British classical scholar and public intellectual
Essay (1912), "Introduction," Sophocles, Medea

A quotation from The Bible

Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise. If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good. Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.

[τὸ αὐτὸ εἰς ἀλλήλους φρονοῦντες, μὴ τὰ ὑψηλὰ φρονοῦντες ἀλλὰ τοῖς ταπεινοῖς συναπαγόμενοι. μὴ γίνεσθε φρόνιμοι παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς. μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες, προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων· εἰ δυνατὸν τὸ ἐξ ὑμῶν, μετὰ πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες·]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
Romans 12: 16-18 [GNT (1992 ed.)]

What does the #bible (📖) say about #forgiving others for #sinning (🚫) against you? and some #verses to go with.

it says a lot. but there's two points I want to point to today that many might not actually know in detail. Or it might not cross the mind.

1.

The 📖 doesn't explicitly say that you must, "forgive and #forget ," but it does emphasize letting go of resentment and bitterness,

#forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean restoring #trust or #forgetting about the wrong a person did against you or etc,

it means releasing the #desire for #revenge and choosing to not hold the #offense against the other person.

"Get rid of all #bitterness #rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice." – Ephesians 4:31

2.

Forgiveness is a #Condition for Receiving #God 's Forgiveness

"For if you forgive other people when they 🚫 against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their 🚫, your Father will not forgive your 🚫," - Matthew 6:14-15

So you can still not trust a person that did wrong, but you should withhold your anger and any bitterness like attitude towards them.

You can still tell them 'hey, that thing you did was messed up, not cool'. But ultimately you need to forgive them according to #theword of god to be forgiven.
