Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the mental, emotional and/or spiritual process of ceasing to
feel resentment or anger against another person for a perceived offence,
difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution[citation
needed]. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who
forgives, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship
between the forgiver and the person forgiven.
In some contexts, it may be granted without any expectation of compensation,
and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may
forgive a person who is dead). In practical terms, it may be necessary for the
offender to offer some form of acknowledgement, apology, and/or restitution, or
even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe they
are able to forgive
