*On the problem of Forgiveness without Repentance: the Victim can forgive the Wrong-doer for what the latter does to him, but not for what he is. What he does and has done is included in what he is, in one way or another. What he is can only be transformed by his Repentance, which may be the Human end or part of the Transformation of which Divine Forgiveness is God's end or part. Only God can forgive us for what we are.**
