Titanic

If I was on the Titanic, I would probably forgive the captian for what he had done or not done.  Captian Smith had gotten alot of calls about iceburgs but didn't listen.  I know most people wouldn't forgive him for not listening, but everyone makes mistakes and his just so happened to kill thousands. As long as my loved ones were on a life boat, safe and sound, then I would would forgive the poor man. I know that losing your own life for the stupidity of others isn't exactly how I want to go, but at the same time we all have to die sometime, so we might as well die forgiving someone. I would also get to go to a better place. Personally I don't understand why people take things to their graves. There is really no point because if the person sorry for what they have don then that should be enough. It's not like they can rewind time and make it better. In conclusion, Smith might have been a cocky person but he still didn't mean to kill thousands and should be forgiven for his horrible mistake.

To pity or not to pity.............

  Should Simon show pity towards Karl or should he walk away and never think anymore of it?  Well I believe he should show pity towards Karl.  It takes a lot of guts to own up to something you did, that was wrong.  Karl even tried to make him stay by grabbing his hand more than once.  At one point the dying Nazi soldier had said,"I cannot die..... without coming clean".  That statement clearly shows that he was sorry for what he had done and all he wanted was forgiveness.  Even if he had killed: mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, uncles and aunts, grandmas and grandpas.  Karl wasn't just concerned about his own well-being, he actually was more worried about the Jew he was talking with (Simon).  Karl knew that it wasn't easy to hear about your own kind dying in such a brutal manor, but he just wanted someone to understand that he was truly sorry.  After he got done telling his story he proceeded to say," I know that what I have told you is terrible. In the long nights while I have been waiting for death, time and time again I have longed to talk about it to a Jew and beg forgiveness from him.  Only I didn't know whether there were an Jews left....".  So you see, Karl is a good guy, but he was working for the bad guy. If Simon had taken a second to calm down and listen, then he would have been able to show much more pity toward the Nazi soldier, Simon.

Forgiveness. Yes or No?

Should anyone forgive a mother that drowns her own children?  If you ask me, I would straight up tell you NO.  On the news a year or two ago a woman had drowned her kids and sorry, but if you brought them into this world, why the crap would you want to take them out.  If I was a stressed mother, I would try to pray, so god could try and help me. By putting your children to rest won't solve anything.  It will just make things worse.  I will never forgive a mother that killed her own children.
