Why can’t we learn how to forgive others?
Why is forgiveness so hard? Why can’t we ever learn how to forgive others, whether it is a lady forgiving a man who harasses her on “FB,” and she said if you don’t stop, I will call the police on you, or why can’t angry employees learn how to forgive their customers for something like “Filming” in public, or whether it is “Facebook” blocking you from creating new accounts, because a man has created new accounts, also, why can’t people learn how to forgive criminals, and instead of police officers taking criminals to jail, why can’t they forgive them, and trust them that they will not break the law anymore to move on, or why can’t politicians learn how to apologize to citizens as we forgive their greed over people? Why can’t society ever learn forgiveness and why can’t humans ever learn how to apologize and move on? You see, if you believe in the Bible, which I do, the Bible says if you commit a trespass, thus shall forgive you of your sins. Jesus Christ forgives us, then, why can’t we forgive each other the way that Jesus taught us how to forgive?

People are not required to forgive wrongdoing, and if someone chooses to forgive, that doesn't mean that there still shouldn't be penalties and consequences for unacceptable behavior.

Matthew 18:34-35
And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. [35] So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

You live in a strange Utopian world where we all love each other. The fact is that criminals would take advantage of people like you.

Too much forgiveness is a bad thing. You'll be taken advantage of by bad people. Forgiveness should be over mistakes, not intentional harm.
