(deja salut a tous mes 1ère L qui passeront par la ^^)
Salut a tous,
je dois faire une expression écrite en anglais dont le sujet est "we must forgive but not forget"
Vous pourriez juste me dire si j'ai fait des fautes grammaticales, de syntaxe, etc... ?
« We must forgive but not forget » is according to me wrong or at least subjective. Certainly we mustn’t forget whatever the blame made but we mustn’t forgive, we can forgive within the limit of the tolerable.
Indeed, the fact we must forgive looks like an obligation as if all can be forgiven. However we can forgive and our pardon depends on many things.
First of all, it depends on the seriousness of the act. For example, how could descendants of deceased during the World War II forgive Nazis for the genocide they committed? Here we can’t put into practice the proverb: “to err is human” in view of the fact that it was not an error it was a crime against humanity … But in less serious circumstances, to forgive is possible.
The forgiveness depends too on regrets and behaviour of the culpable toward the victim, if he admits for example. In this instance, it can make the pardon easier but in so far as the fault is tolerable of course. Incidentally a proverb says “Confession of a fault is half amended”.
Moreover the pardon depends on the character of the victim and his readiness to forgive or to the contrary keep rancour.
Finally the pardon can be, more than a moral notion, a religious notion for religious believers. Then, the pardon is systematic whatever the fault.
Yes we can forgive, but we mustn’t in no case forget
In the first place the fact we don’t want to forget can have, in one hand, things in common with the rancour (here if we forgive but not forget, the pardon is a façade) but it often enables to keep eyes open in the future in order that the crime doesn’t begin again. For examples if people do never forget Africans families who have been destroyed during slavery period, it won’t reenact since people are warn against this. While we're on the subject, a proverb says: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
At last, to forget is to do as if nothing has happened which morally impossible for somebody who suffered a lot. However for commonplace situations, to forget is possible. For my part, I quarrelled with somebody for something insignificant but we decided to forget and to become friends again esteeming that our friendship was more important than an argument.
Voila merci d'avance si vous trouvez des erreurs (et il y'en a ...)
