If you're a 'logical thinker', like me, then you'll get why I state, without shadow of a doubt, that 'forgiveness' is dumb logic, that I DO NOT, and WILL NEVER subscribe to. I'm not religious, so don't come at me from that angle. "Forgiveness" is merely a way for the 'oppressor" to gauge just how much religious brainwashing has worked on you. Now, will I bring up past mess between us? No. Will I ever through past mess in your face (figuratively) or use your past mess as a weapon against you? No. Will I forget the past mess you did to others, or to me? NEVER. If I were to ever to subscribe to 'forgiveness', the FIRST, AND ONLY PERSON THAT I WOULD 'FORGIVE' IS - MYSELF. However, as per the definitions of 'forgiveness', I will never, do such a thing because I'm not a brainwashed sheep, I'm not religious and I have a brain and use it.
