parable's details

fellow servant

'he was brought' too ashamed to see God

'be patient with me'-- he is going to clear the dept, he just need more time

fellow servant did not for give the slave

master

'felt sorry'-- mercy

mercy and justice can coexist

forgiveness should not be a response to begging (aka should go beyond a response)

the servant ask for more time; the owner lift his dept <= more than what was asked for

threat others the way we wanted to be treated

what keep us from forgiving

grudge, don't want to let go

face-saving concern, do not want to appear weak

think he's undeserving

legitimizing, don't want to allow that behavior

a condescending attitude, thinking i am superior

freedom...

forgiveness is to let go

relativity(about moral standard)

we should push ourselves to improve

don't use someone worst than us as the standard

apology is not a prerequisite of forgiveness

ppl change for a better is not an condition for forgiveness

forgiveness
