Forgiveness is both an act and the attitude toward another that results from the act. It is letting go of anger and hurt caused by the actions of another. It is not always offering absolution. Sometimes it is acceptance or even resignation about something that you cannot change in another. Sometimes it is just a new level understanding about someone else.
Forgiveness acknowledges hurt. It does not wipe the slate clean. It does not necessarily renew trust. It is necessary to move beyond pain. Forgiveness is letting go. Forgiveness lifts a burden of anger and resentment. Forgiveness recognizes the humanity of the offender and may restore relationships. Ultimately, forgiveness is something that I do for myself.
