If I was to be forced into the same room with the person that harmed me so horribly, I’d leave the country. In fact, I did just that to leave it behind me.

[@razvanrusu6272]

You are not forced to do that. You can always choose.

[@mendyviola]

@@razvanrusu6272 your idea of choice is faulty. It’s like the Ukrainians having no choice but to evacuate into the mouth of the dragon.

[@razvanrusu6272]

@@mendyviola They are under attack. You are not obliged to go to the meeting. If someone forced you, then they weren't right. Nobody is forced to participate in a restorative justice meeting during the process.

Unfortunately not everyone is capable of empathy . Radical acceptance is the only relief.

The offenders need individualized and group therapy. They can watch how the victims life has been turned upside down on a prison screen. Honestly this needs to be more of a preventative solution.

Lady you talk too much! The act of forgiveness is only possible through affixing the perpetrator to a sturdy table and providing the victim with a gardening scissors!
