I think you're spot of on , Greg. To forgive requires someone to beg for pardon. To beg for pardon requires remorse by the wrong-doer. If there is no remorse, there can be no forgiveness. Yes, one can cleanse oneself of the evil by "letting it go"...but to mind, this is something different than forgiveness. Maybe we're all just arguing semantics here.
