People can get confused when looking back on things they did, often whatever it was itself is not something they feel is forgivable and will remain with seeing it as wrong. It is "ok" to see it that way too. I think it is "reasonable" to find compassion and that is not easy either, this I do know.

I have been very challenged in the "forgiveness" area myself. My husband did things that were wrong, will always be wrong too. I never forgave these things, the best I could muster was "compassion", but the things he did, I have not forgiven really, they remain wrong and still hurt. Yet, I have compassion for the fact that he knows it was wrong, he knows it hurt me. I think forgiving is very hard, at least it has been for me, I still try but it's so hard.

I think that all one can do when they do a wrong is say I am sorry and admit it was wrong to the person who needs them to do so. I think "compassion" is appropriate tbh, thanks for that.
