Example text
It is not clear that forgiveness to make ourselves feel better, to free us to move on, is "forgiveness," that is, a genuine change in attitude toward the offender or the offense. More broadly, the notion that forgiveness is the only way to achieve closure, so one can move on, is of course mistaken. The notion that one must achieve closure before one can move on may also be mistaken. And the notion that understanding inevitably leads to forgiveness and so closure is perhaps least plausible of all.
And the notion that understanding inevitably leads to forgiveness and so closure is perhaps least plausible of all. The notion of "closure" is itself problematic when we are dealing with an interplay of attitudes, which by their nature, especially in ongoing relationships, are always in flux. One may understand the sources of an offense, but to forgive might seem to lessen the offense, to fail to take it and oneself sufficiently seriously. ). Understanding itself may sometimes be threatening. Even admitting the offense is intelligible (say in the case of genocide or of incest) may seem a risk; understanding might seem to make the offense thinkable and so possible again.
The wrong may remain unintelligible, yet be forgiven. ) Even where one fails or refuses to forgive, one need not be left seething in resentment. ) It is not just that there are alternative methods of letting go (I shall speak of forgetting in a moment). Nor just that there are alternatives to resentment as a reaction to wrongdoing and neglect directed at oneself in the first place (I shall speak in a bit of an alternative discussed by Gandhi). It might just be that there are good reasons to let the past rest as past—say, in a political context, the evil is past and so there is no need to struggle further against it, indeed, reason to fear continuing the struggle against the admitted evil might run the risk of reviving it.
