So much of what we hear about forgiveness is wrong. It’s no virtue, and it’s a forced lie unless it happens naturally. We pretend to forgive, trick ourselves into it, because we’re expected to by people who don’t want to be made uncomfortable, not to relieve our own pain. It’s so one-sided, so dismissive, so quick to call a lack of forgiveness some sort of failing by the person who was wronged.
