"Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do"
I think some people know exactly what they do....they just don't care ..their own selfish motivations supersedes their actions
this is a multilayered statement from Lord Jesus....it also refers to the karmic debt that one occurs when they commit those actions...cosmic debt if you will;.. as opposed to a personal felling that one gets , ..and subsequently has to overcome with the act of forgiveness

it is true, saying 'forgive them for they know not what they do' isn't a very good incentive for them to learn and quit doing it. I suppose, if you are in the mindset where you want your own way, your next thought is you won't forgive them...
