To me, forgiveness is choosing to move on from whatever hurt or pain that you felt at another point in your life; that is still keeping you tied to the past.
In the words of Ram Dass: Be here now.
It is kind of impossible to be in the present when part of you is still dragging the past with you.
It has been the hardest of all of the pain I have borne, to forgive my parents. Sometimes I think that I just don't want to or can't forgive them. I know that it would be better for me as a person, if I did.
Part of me thinks I still have time to deal with it but I am not getting any younger and neither are they.
