In the parable which Jesus said (Luke 18;10-14), an offender expressed his mental grief and appealed for mercy, looking into his mistake of doing wrong.
He earnestly sought to restore his relationship against whom he committed the wrong, to have peace and satisfaction.
He did an act of reconciliation.
The other offender was full of pride and self justification and so failed to restore his relationship with the offended and have peace and satisfaction.
In SL, the offenders should come out of the shell of pride and self justification, be openly remorseful and seek forgiveness from the offended.
