How much can we forgive and forget in this lifetime?

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
Paul Boose

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mahatma Gandhi

Forgiveness is seen as a virtue and I agree with that one should forgive and forget for one's very own sake more than anything else. However, shouldn't there be a limit for such virtue?

Can we just forgive endlessly? and does everyone really deserve forgiveness? Forgiveness should only be entitled to those who can values themselves enough to admit what they have done sincerely. Even then, what about murderers especially in the context of massive genocide?

I am asking myself this question tonight as I am getting ready for bed... Thoughts?
