if someone you don't know kills you

Should I forgive someone I don't know if they kill me? Or should we forgive that person if they almost get killed and become disabled?
People's grievances are amplified the longer they are in a group. The risk of crime also increases.
Japan is no exception.
When did someone hold a grudge against them, and if you shared that grudge and did something like that, why don't you kill that guy? Someone might say that and that person will be killed.
Please tell me if I should forgive that person even if they are killed or disabled.

Stopping that kind of thinking itself is stronger than forgiveness

First, that's not actually the case right now.
If they were actually killed, you wouldn't even be able to ask questions here.
First, think calmly and think about things correctly.
In order to think correctly, the most important thing is to “make” your thinking head itself, mind itself, and mind itself think clearly, good, and healthy without making it “bad, dark, negative, pessimistic, or humble.” Only you can do that.

Humans are free to do whatever they think. Delusions are OK too. However, that delusion also becomes dangerous if the way it is used becomes real. Novelists and screenwriters are some kind of alchemists because they can make good use of their fantasies in their work. If you don't seem to be able to make good use of your own heart, thoughts, and thoughts, there is a possibility that you will eventually hurt yourself, suffer, or cause resentful humanity. I can say that to anyone.
It creates human malice.

Malicious people who hurt people are also born that way.
I can't control my mind well, and I end up doing things I shouldn't do as a person.
It would be a problem if there were only people like that.
That's why people who have realized that they should lead their heart to good intentions will not let their heart go in a bad direction from today until now, no matter how many times they fail. That's going to happen. That's how it should be.

No matter how bad experiences you have had in your life or in the past, it is sadly up to you to surpass the suffering and sorrow that followed and then take a step in which direction. But luckily, thankfully, there are still more ways to salvation, a path to a clear mind, and a third and fourth path where you can truly go beyond forgiveness and forgiveness and maintain a plain and proper mind! That is the birthplace of Bodaishin.
Life isn't just A or B, is it? There are not only good or bad theories about humans.
If yesterday's malice that devoured my heart was affected by some kind of good bacteria, my heart would change. It works for forgiveness and forgiveness.
Since the flame of resentment burns in the hearts of people who continue to do the act of feeling that if they continue to hold a grudge, they will unfortunately hold a grudge, so the poisonous juice, toxins, and toxic feelings of resentment occur. It's just within the person himself.
Therefore, humans must not stand on the same playing field, even if there are people with heart disease like Baikinman. Even if people can't change, they should keep these good intentions and good bacteria. What matters is not how others are, but me! What should it be? Should we be steeped in malice or should we maintain good intentions?

Fundamentally, it depends on that person's outlook on life and human views

Hello.

Humans are creatures that change when they touch relationships.

When you “almost got killed and became disabled.”
If I hear that the culprit broke down crying and is tormented by guilt every day in prison, the feeling of “forgiveness” may move there. However, if the culprit justified his own actions, and on the contrary, wrote letters to people around him that ridiculed the victim. In that case, even if you think you should “forgive,” you may not be able to forgive.

Can you forgive or can't you forgive?
Fundamentally, this is largely due to that person's outlook on life and humanity.
However, there isn't much point in taking only criminal damage and discussing whether it is “forgivable.” How you look at yourself and how you think ultimately comes down to how you look at and think about others. There is a big difference between assuming a Buddha or not.

What do you think of yourself?

“When is someone holding a grudge against you, and if you share that grudge and do something like that, why don't you kill that guy? You state the assumption that “someone may say and that person may be killed.”

When I think about this from past questions, I think it's written in the form of a general question about how bad words, malice, and “resentment” from others are directed at me. In other words, I think your intention is to ask questions from the viewpoint that you might actually be targeted in the future.

I pointed out to you that your point of view was too much on others.
My mind is being taken up too much by others, and my domain is extremely small and I lack balance.
The same point was made this time.

Apply mercy

Thank you

“If you use grudge to repay your grudge, then finally your grudge won't go away. You can only breathe when you let go of your grudge. This is an eternal truth.” (Dhammapada)

These are the words of Shakyamuni.

Furthermore, in Buddhism, efforts are made so that even those who have a grudge can show mercy. (Because all sentient beings are uniformly suffering in the same way in this reincarnation due to ignorance and distress)

The person who harms me now may have been a grateful mother, father, or best friend in some past life. Right now, it's just because of a bad relationship that can't be helped, and if you somehow turn that bad relationship into a good relationship, that person will surely be able to do good deeds without doing such a bad thing.

It's a place where I want to show mercy to them.

Also, the cultivation of mercy, which is important in Buddhism, is something that can only be done when there is such a grudge, in other words, enemies, and it makes me think of one of the six haramitsu, a great teacher, a thankfully precious person, and even a good person for practicing humiliation.

Of course, I know that things around here are absolutely difficult to understand right now, but if you don't mind, I hope you can learn the “Iribosatsu Procession” one by one by one by one. If it's up to 8 chapters, there is also a free Japanese PDF below.
