Forgiving is
going to a person either in your fantasies or in reality and saying, "I
don't understand. I'll never understand and it wasn't OK and it isn't OK, but I
forgive you." Forgiving doesn't make a person a doormat. It isn't the same
as tolerance. Forgivers don't have to be fools. Forgiving is healing yourself
of something that happened to you that you cannot tolerate but you forgive it
as the only way to heal the wound that it left with you.
