It’s so difficult for some to forgive and that’s because they don’t really know much about what it means to forgive. Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, and lets go of negative emotions such as vengeance, with an increased ability to wish the offender well.
