The Bible is clear about two principles: (1) We always need to forgive, but (2) we don't always achieve reconciliation.

What is it that you ever wanted in life?
Who cares about you?
Who laughs with you?
Who shared your hopes and dreams?
To top it all, maybe just maybe,
When you are near your death,
All that you ever wanted is to ask forgiveness to whom you have sinned,
to tell them that they should take care of themselves, wish them to be safe, and to ask mercy from God to let you enter His Kingdom.
And barely wouldn't even care what will happen with your facebook account.
Well maybe we can start with start living simple
And could stop living like a pro,
Because nothing in this world is worth of value to the One up above.

And no one else will be? — The Eldest

Don't label your character flaws as noble sacrifices.
pg 47 — Michael Ben Zehabe
