Too many people struggle with the idea of forgiveness. They think it's about absolving someone of guilt or reconciling with a person who's done something severely wrong. 

It's not.

Forgiveness is about your personal healing. It's about you working through your own justified pain, anger, and resentment related to the injustice you encountered. 

If you were done wrong, you are justified in feeling hurt, feeling anger, and feeling resentment. The problems start if you hold onto those emotions. 

Forgiveness is about getting those emotions out of your heart and soul in a healthy way. 

Forgiveness is selfish and that's exactly the way it should be.
