Abstract(s)
O perdão é um mistério para o ser humano. A sociedade contemporânea, apelidada por
muitos de pós-modernidade, continua a ser marcada por desigualdades e por formas de
violência que, por sua vez, originam vítimas. O sujeito pós-moderno é apelidado de débil, pois
vive numa condição de vulnerabilidade, que expôs as suas fragilidades e lhe devolveu a
consciência dos seus limites, enquanto ser finito. Este contexto da pós-modernidade é o terreno
fértil, para que possa florescer o perdão, por parte das vítimas, quando estas conseguem superar
o ressentimento e a rivalidade. Abre-se, então, a possibilidade do aparecimento de vítimas
perdoadoras, que são aquelas que perdoam porque se descobrem amadas por uma alteridade
inefável a que chamamos Deus. Nesse sentido, apesar de, na modernidade, a transcendência ter
sido posta em causa, nesta sociedade em ruínas, continua a ser possível um futuro de esperança,
em que podemos vislumbrar a presença de Deus.
Forgiveness is a mystery to the human being. Contemporary society, dubbed by many as postmodernity, continues to be marked by inequalities and forms of violence that in turn lead to victims. The postmodern subject is called weak because he lives in a condition of vulnerability that has exposed his weaknesses and given back his awareness of his limits as a finite being. This is the breeding ground so that victims' forgiveness can flourish when they can overcome resentment and rivalry. This opens the possibility to the appearance of the forgiving victims, those who forgive because they find themselves loved by an ineffable alterity we call God. In this sense, although in modernity transcendence has been undermined, now in this ruined society, a future of hope in which we can glimpse the presence of God remains possible.
