Forgiveness Forgiveness in “Voices from the Wall” was about Kim Phuc, who was in a infamous picture from the Vietnam War when she was a girl. She had napalm ( a devastating weapon ) dropped on her village and were forced to flee. Her clothes then burned off and left major burn damage to her skin. Later on in life, she said she had no anger to the man who dropped the napalm and would forgive him if she ever got the chance to meet him.

    Forgiveness is an intervention for different types of offenses in the relationship (Johnson, 2002). In forgiving, the couple relationships lessening of negative motivation alone are not sufficient for the relationship to fix (Kato, 2016). In the infidelity context, forgiveness does not need for the victim to excuse or condone the extradyadic involvement of the partner and the couple must reconcile. Instead, the goal of forgiveness is for the victim to have the balance view of the offender and the infidelity while the affect toward the offender is decreasing and the empathy is increasing (Gordon & Baucom, 1999). According to Fincham, Hall, and Beach (2006) forgiveness is not the same from accepting, excusing, or condoning an offense.

Another, psychologically more complex kind of forgiveness is the situation in which one suffers from his own deeds, which means the victim is the same person as the culprit. Similar to the other type of forgiveness, this forgiveness is true if the victim does not somehow act on the basis of vengeance or grudge towards the culprit. This grudge is likely to be associated with feelings of guilt in this situation, as the victim and the culprit are the same person. The importance of this kind of forgiveness is, like the kind of forgiveness already mentioned, that the person in question can live happily ever after.
