Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as vengefulness, with an increased ability to wish the offender well.

From wikipedia.
Easier for me to grasp than poetry. For me it's difficult to achieve permanence in forgiveness, towards myself at least. I may not ever get that right.
I had to achieve a certain level of maturity and wisdom to forgive others. My parents... it took me a while to understand that they had parents as well and things that they needed to forgive.
