I disagree with your idea of forgiveness. If you think the person did nothing wrong then there's nothing to forgive. There has to be some acknowledgement of wrongdoing in order for the concept of forgiveness to be relevant.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

Unfortunately, that's what a lot of people think forgiveness means. Especially in the devout religious circles.

[(Anonymous)]

Depends on which devout religious circles you frequent. In the ones I've known, people have a much more precise and sophisticated understanding of forgiveness.

[(Anonymous)]

I've found the opposite. Religious people I know know what forgiveness means, and it's acknowledging wrongdoing first.

[(Anonymous)]

This. To me, forgiveness is saying "What you did was shitty, but I'm not going to be angry about it anymore."

[(Anonymous)]

There can be unintentional wrongdoing though.

Ok, personal one. I was doing the laundry and tossed in my roommate's hamper of clothes as a favor. Turns out she had left her phone in her pants pocket and it was ruined. I apologized! I promised to check pockets or ask before doing her laundry. She was mad and then she forgave me. I screwed up and did something wrong, but it wasn't intentional harm.

To me that's what forgiveness means, her coming to terms with the fact while it was fine to be angry at her phone for being destroyed and for being mad at me for washing it, it was the sort of thing that holding a grudge over it wouldn't have helped anything.
