How forgive unforgivable

How forgive unforgivable

I've just realized the main topic of my late twenties. The question that I've finally formulated, the one that brought me to this horrendous Master's in Human Rights. The one that I've been trying to answer through very different mediums - through dating, art, films, photography, history, friends, family, countries, traveling, studying.

How do you forgive unforgivable? Does it make you a good person to forgive unforgivable? Does it make you a bad person if you can't forgive? Should you forgive unforgivable? Who decides these things? Is there any objective universal measurement of an 'unforgivableness'?

I've been reading research papers about Balkan wars and how people lived with each other afterwards; about Rwanda and what happened after the genocide. I couldn't find an answer to my questions. I'm stuck with the questions. Somebody said once that the answer to a question is in the question itself. Meaning I don't see the answers I need. I'm blind. Or stupid. Maybe it's not the right time yet.
