It is also an issue of if 'forgiveness' is required. It is very subjective and 'remorseless, willful' behavior may only be an issue to the offended. I'm certain that I've done and said things that have offended and hurt other people. Even if my actions have resulted in worse outcomes than I anticipated, I'm not looking to be forgiven and won't show remorse. The issue is in the mind of the offended.
I've known for a long time that my dad is fallible. I also know that I've inherited most my intelligence from him and that he has an insurmountable lead in life experiences and wisdom. Kudos to willravel Sr. Apparently this lesson stuck, albeit not in the manner intended.
