We are in an age where apologizing is not done by many. Especially powerful people, such as The President, even when it is absolutely clear an apology and remorse and understanding are obvious and true. And many others do not apologize because they are above that... or because they do not feel responsible or They Just Don't Do That!
As a response to so many apologies not being made and with so many people hurt and harmed and traumatized, etc... the idea that Personally Forgiving has become very popular. I am calling Personal Forgiving either when one "forgives oneself" or "forgives the other" when no apology is made. It is a matter of either giving grace or letting go. And showing grace and/or letting go are both good things.
I say Dynamic Forgiving is much better. Dynamic Forgiving is the exchange of an apology for forgiveness. Dynamic Forgiveness is a gift by both parties to each other. Not always easy and in some cases not possible if one of the parties cannot participate (death, insanity, other?). When both parties do their parts comprehensively and well the result is peace in the community. The result includes the likelihood a similar bad event will not happen and a general understanding of what is bad and not to be done by others.
MORE on forgiveness in future...and maybe there have been some posts on this in the past. This a BIG and IMPORTANT subject for all and all times.
