When does a daughter's duty end?

I've read a wikipedia article about gaming theories and robots that play games, and there was a fact: forgiving programs win. But overforgiving lose. Forgive randomly about 5-10%, that's enough to not enter 'hate cycle'. All others must be prosecuted.

As a generally calm person I think it is enough to just freeze your hate and forget about it until [maybe never happening] moment, when you'll bring revenge while losing nothing. Forgiveness is for you to go through it, not to let them go.

Yes, this is where the other shoe drops. We somehow need to trust that the "rules" our society has agreed on for punishment of breaking societal norms are adequate to prevent people from breaking the rules more than once.

We then enter into the realms of how to deal with perpetrators. Isolation vs. rehabilitation vs. eradication.

I prefer rehabilitation over isolation, and both over eradication.

This is one of the roles of government, and thus we enter a whole new world of discussion.
