kind response for the forgiveness
English to German
Social Sciences
Philosophy
I'm subtitling a video of a speech. This part is about the recipe for success, which is forgiveness.
Forgive anybody and everybody
who ever did anything to you
that was harmful to you.
With no need for justification,
or *kind response for the forgiveness.*
What's this "kind response" here?
Thanks

Erwiderung
Ich verstehe es so, dass man nicht erwarten soll, dass der Akt der Vergebung vom Gegenüber erwidert wird. "Erwiderung" wäre also eine textnahe Übersetzung. Etwas freier könnte man es auch in Richtung "Dankbarkeit" interpretieren.

: das würde ja bedeuten, dass der, der vergeben hat, auch Vergebung nötig hätte. Davon steht aber nichts da.

nette Geste
should also work here.
as in: it was not necessary to acknowledge the forgiving with a nice gesture.
