Some say that forgiveness signals a sign of weakness. This will be interpreted as a reason for the assailant to redouble their efforts and come back.
They interpret this as "you have admitted your guilt and now you must pay."
Once you "admit your guilt", the price can never be repaid.
Forgive, not enable. You can defend yourself, protect your property and family and community and virtues.
Forgiveness is not letting it burden you beyond the damage already caused. You can demand justice and also provide forgiveness.
"Forgiveness is not letting it burden you beyond the damage already caused."

The modern interpretation of the word forgiveness has come to be accepted as "forgetting about it".
Forgetting about something after justice has been served is one thing, which I fully agree on.
Forgetting about an issue that has not been addressed, hoping it will go away is another. Especially when do-gooders stick their nose in and suggest that you 'forgive'.
That’s a fair interpretation but let’s blame them for changing definitions on us. We know what’s right.
Apologizing and forgiving are two very different things.
Nah, letting go of internal resentment is one sided (and healthy) but forgiveness requires some kind of realization by the offender. You don't have to forgive in order to let go of negativity. Some offenses are, indeed, unforgivable.
"You don't have to forgive in order to let go of negativity."
Yes, you do. I am pretty sure Jesus die on the cross to prove this point.
"forgive them; for they know not what they do."
even Jesus has requirements for forgiveness - if you don't accept him as your lord and savior you can go fuck yourself for eternity!
Jesus = Unconditional Love
If you don't love yourself you will condemn yourself for eternity.
