Repentance For Theft
I understand that, but what if we are unable to satisfy that person, despite our best efforts. We repent, try to make amends but ultimately die in a state where we know we have not been forgiven. For example, the person might demand the whole business – despite the fact that it will take away the owner’s livelihood. The owner offers the principal + half of what was made in profits. If the victim decides what is “reasonable”, doesn’t this open the doors to injustice towards the others extreme? The owner gives up all his property, wealth and his family is on the streets. What if after all that, the initial victim is still unhappy? How can someone achieve peace in their life, despite knowing they have this unresolved matter?
