Forgiveness doesn't mean that you do... more »n't want an offender to be punished, it doesn't mean that you'll forget the offense, or that by forgiving you tacitly invite bad things to happen again. And forgiving doesn't mean you won't defend yourself or that you must love (or stop disliking) the person you are forgiving." Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness but of strength. Bestselling author, Dr. Edward Hallowell also argues that it's healthy, brave, contagious, and sets you free.
