If forgiveness is a moral duty than it's value is greatly lessened, imo. It's something you have to do - rather than something you elect to do. I don't believe that there is such a duty..and I certainly don't think that jesus gave quality advice about how to deal with enemies..judging by the supposed circumstances of his death.
If there was ever a guy that needed to beat a plow into a sword...to -not- turn the other cheek....to refuse his enemies love, it'd be a guy who got crucified by the state.
