What Is Forgive & Forgiveness ?

prosecution, fines, and so on because of a mistake, an
expression of apology or regret.
Forgiveness is a condition where we stop telling ourselves over
and over about what happened, what the other person did, how
we were hurt, and the things that caused the hurt. We let go of
