But if our debt is infinite, wouldn’t that render any attempt at restitution meaningless? So why bother? And if we applied this same framework to relationships, say, where we demanded that any wrong be addressed by an eternal remembrance of that wrong coupled with the reminder that nothing will ever be enough, where would that leave us? I’m not even sure this is consistent with the New Testament where (and it’s been awhile so please forgive me . . . But maybe not completely) Jesus instructs us to forgive 70 times 7 times. Also, Jesus tells us to lay off the stone throwing already, because after all who do we think we are? Like we’re so great? By demanding infinite retribution for the infinite debt brought on by the infinite harm we are all caught in a crushing spiral. And, while Oedipus Rex does attest to his historic wrongs, in Oedipus at Colonus Sophocles tells us that Oedipus has suffered enough—his debt is repaid.
