Forgiven but not forgotten

UN Ambassador Susan Rice deemed Libyan's leader Qaddafi “delusional” and “unfit to lead”. Rice said the fact he was laughing at questions while “slaughtering his own people” showed that he was disconnected from reality.
This extreme consequence of the lethal combination of power and lunacy even has the UN has to intervene to resolve this crisis.
This might be a very high-level macro instance of insanity, but I can definitely name a few closer to home.
How do you identify someone like that?
When he/she:

1. manipulates and abuses everyone to his/her bidding by virtue of blood relations.
2. hides behind the excuse of not trying hard enough to appeal for sympathy.
3. lies and lives in self-denial at the expense of others.
4. tortures anyone who stands in his/her way.
5. thinks too highly of him/herself when he/she is worth nothing.
6. expects everything to be given to them by obligation.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.
When this occurs on the global scale, the UN will help to save the victims. So what do you do when you're a victim of this collateral damage?
Firstly, you should do all you can to salvage the crisis, regardless of who is right or wrong.
After the damage control, what's the next step? Should you be a bigger person and give in?
Yes, you can forgive but never forget.
Never forget those that love you and never forget those that vilify you.

Godspeed that Libya finds peace soon, and in turn there might be hope for the rest of us.
