after we conscious or aware of making a mistake we feel sorry or suffer from it, then we want to take the responsible for it...
but if we purposely hurting someone else and continues to do it, that's that mean we are not conscious or aware of being human, that has reduced us to a criminal, lowest kind of being.

but just like jesus said; “forgive them for they do not know what they are doing”

most people are asleep, unconsciously living in this world...they don't know what they are doing.
