What if I think that forgiveness is not a good solution to injustice? What then is the role of forgiveness in this context?
Since the moral virtue of justice is what is necessary to right a wrong, forgiveness is not a solution to injustice. In response to injustice, forgiveness entails facing its effects, which may include anger, strained relationships, and discord in the family or organization. If you decide to forgive, it is important to manage these negative consequences. Therefore, I believe you are asking the wrong question regarding forgiveness if you think it will solve the issue of injustice. Rather than asking how forgiveness will resolve this issue, the more accurate question is this: How can forgiveness help me (and us) overcome the negative effects of the injustice?
