Letting go of what was done to you.
Forgiveness might be the most misunderstood thing in spiritual life. It's not the same as saying what happened was okay. It's not forgetting. It's not automatic reconciliation.
Forgiveness is, at its core, releasing the weight of carrying someone else's debt.
Jesus asked forgiveness for the people who were in the middle of killing him. That's not normal. That's not natural. It points to something that runs deeper than human instinct.
