Forgiveness is what happens when we are willing to let go of the list of wrongs other people have done/caused in our lives.
It's a process, not an event.
Forgiveness is something we do not because the offender "deserves" or "is worthy" --- it's because WE are. We don't need even the sight of that old shyte cluttering up our lives and brains and emotions. We do it to get clear of that clutter. We do it to have personal peace.
IMO.
