I have come to the decision that forgiveness is about that little "give" in the center of the word "for-give-ness". It's sort of like the slack given when you are letting go of a tight cord--a release in tension. It's also like giving a gift--when it's a gift you really want to give...the desire comes from within. And it's about healing the center portion of our soul.
I have found that forgiveness is something I want to do for myself. It can be a selfish thing to do, with positive results, because when I forgive, I feel the release of the tension and feel the benefits of letting go of a load.
