Forgiveness is basically saying I am not going to look back I am moving forward and I am going to position my vision forward and see all the great things I still have and will have in the furture. Without forgiveness you cannot move on. It is basically a physical and mental release that will allow you to move on without it coming back to remind you of the pain.

I think I get what you're saying. Forgiveness is for the benefit of the person who is giving the forgiveness, not the person who is being forgiven. But how does that coincide with it's good to suffer and you should turn the other cheek?
Why is it not okay to take one's beaten cheek away from the beater?
