| How does anger help the situation? Regardless of whether or not one is angry, there will still probably be 'justice'. Whether or not one is forgiven, the court system still has the responsibility to hold the person to the same standard to punish those who have broken the law. If you want to bring Christianity into the equation, forgiveness is present at [arguably] the most significant part of the Bible. When Jesus is crucified he doesn't shout out "f*ck you n*ggers", he says "farther, forgive them, they know not what they do." Personally, I don't think that makes the crucification and, in Christian belief, the salvation of humanity less significant. Or in this situation, the death of a loved one. In principal I agree with this idea completely, however in practice I seriously doubt that I would be able to not be angry.
