Thanks ww. Yes, the difference between extending forgiveness, and refraining from retributive tendencies. That's still another avenue.

My main idea is this: do not take blame for blameless occurrences.

Do not ascribe blame where no blame is due.

Do not attribute fault where there is no fault.

Don't struggle with forgiveness where forgiveness is unnecessary.

Semantics, yes.... accurate definitions of words. We can struggle because of societal ignorance.

Be well.
