- What Jainism says about forgiveness
Jainism claims karma is exact: the intensity, duration and quality of every bond is determined, and nothing is arbitrary. For someone who has been wronged, the practical consequence is that the account is already being kept, so revenge adds nothing except a fresh bond of your own.
- What Jainism says about illness and the body failing
