Recently, while listening to a random radio commentary,  one of the panelist made a profound statement that "A Country That Forgives Can Never Develop" , he backed his claim by stating that it is for this reason that the Scandinavian countries are developing. I guess this statement is highly debatable.  We need to appreciate the fact  that certain situations and dynamics can always change. There are levels of principles and morality across the globe and they are peculiar to each jurisdictions. Even in  some cases, criminals who were pardon upon several considerations turn up to be responsible citizens in society.
