I don't think you can forgive by just trying to do so. For me, at least, it comes only with understanding of myself, the other person, and what makes people do what they do.
Here is a quotation I ran across, supposed to be from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each [person’s] life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm any hostility."
