Philosophers claim forgiveness is the highest virtue, yet history is built by those who refuse it. Who is truly stronger: the one who forgives their enemy and calls it mercy, or the one who reclaims victory by demanding consequence?

Mercy is praised as nobility, but what use is nobility to the crushed unless it is sharpened into justice? Is forgiveness a shield, or only surrender dressed in silk? And is vengeance weakness, or the purest proof that power can be taken back? Choose your answer carefully, for the world is built on how you define strength.

Forgiving is something the strongest do, because they know they can cover themselves when the enemy comes to attack again.

Because they always do.

Besides, there's some things I simply can't forgive.
