Why?
Edit: why would it be worse than when death is a thing? And why would it the "most" unforgivable?
Becauae that shit stays with you... and if you can't die, you have to live with it for an eternity.
You don't think after 1000 years it'll still be with you? After 1 million? 1 billion?
Maybe? You're thinking about it as a lone singular event and not the trauma that stays with you and causes worse decisions. Maybe it's a million years downward spiral that you can't resolve.
The person could forget it after 1k years. They could go to therapy for a 100k years and recover. They could enact vengeance and see it as closing the chapter on it. You can't claim to know as you haven't and probably won't live 1k years or more.
Okay. A couple things. I didn't "claim to know." I guessed. That's what that "Maybe?" was for. I know we are talking about it in theory. You have a theory that after a set number years, let's say 1k, that a person would be able to recognize that they need help and get it. Just because you live for a long time doesn't mean you grow as a person.
I did laugh when you stated that I can't know "as you haven't and probably won't live 1k years or more." 😂 Do you not see how you are claiming to know what will happen even though you also haven't and probably won't live 1k years or more?
My theory is that they could forget, not would.
How does "probably" translate to "I know" for you?
