Two of my neighbors have gone to court because of an argument over parking space!
One of the parties is really willing to drop charges if the other guy would only apologize to his wife for his un-gentlemanly treatment of her. But, no, out of pride he refuses to say the magic words: "I'm sorry" or "I apologize."
Forgiveness would easily solve the problem which is costing all of them money and a lot of aggravation.
That's probably why God Himself had to come down literally to our level and show us that's not the way to do things. He must have realized that by giving man free will, he also gave man the potential to feel like he was a god,who believed he knew right and wrong, and should not stoop down whatsoever to his fellowman.
Humility...and asking for forgiveness are apparently the ways of God...but not the ways of men.
