I agree with JAGG.....
Forgiveness doesn't do anything for me, at all.
Forgiveness is an concept, which to me, requires some form of pennance, or some form of repentance and corrective measures applied. In my mind, forgiveness serves no one.
Forgiveness or to forgive someone has never served any purpose in my life.
I actually learned in therapy that it's okay to not believe in forgiveness..... that it's okay to let go and move forward with my life.
