It’s always so interesting to see how different cultures have to tackle seemingly similar problems that in fact have huge variances in their…application I guess is a good word here. The idea of an entire society encouraging forgiveness towards a bully is definitely a very Japanese, and in some ways a generally eastern philosophical, cultural motif. Something individuals there would have to account for in their solutions, but not necessarily in America where that forgiveness is very much not a give.
