Is forgiveness really necessary?

Just because you forgive someone doesn’t mean what they did was fair. To “forgive” only means you “forget” and “forge” ahead. We all know the mistakes we regret for long periods of time. We also need to learn to forgive ourselves., as well as others. After all, we’re only human. The power to forgive doesn’t come naturally to us. It is the gift of grace, the power of grace, that enables us to “turn the other cheek.”
