Do you think forgiveness is necessary when someone has harmed you? I am thinking about forgiveness lately and I know a lot of religious people who think they must forgive. Was just reading a book and the author talked about how we can chose to forgive just 50% if we want, we don't have to forgive 100% all the time. And that there is a difference between someone asking us to forgive their harm to us and someone NOT wanting to apologize and ask us for forgiveness. How we don't have to forgive if the other person doesn't seek to apologize, make amends, request forgiveness. I think most people who have harmed me don't even recognize their nefarious actions but I don't want to carry the burden of perpetual anger towards them.

I’m glad and happy to hold the privilege to forgive myself by practicing self-discipline and I am happy when I too see the same level of awareness paid forward to another… that is the blessing & the power of forgiveness.
Recognizing, restoring, and becoming transcendental within the context of ‘the golden rule’ is Wisdom in action. And I agree, restoration is a personal matter and choice that goes hand in hand with correct behavior and action.
