I appreciate your taking the time to write this. It is, as I said, a blessing "letting go," and that can be called "forgiveness," but I think to forgive someone is relational, not the solo act that you have described. Letting go is a blessing. Agreed. But I think forgiving is relational.

I hear ya! The bible tells us to forgive others— not everyone, and not to the point that we go, “Ahhh Fauci, no biggie! Uoire off the hook!” No. I think we are actually supposed to forgive everyone and that doesn’t mean we step in and don’t allow them to suffer consequences. I guess for me, it come down to, the teachings of the bible hav served me
awfully well for 40+ years and anytime I take the high road even if it’s a hard choice, it always lays off great dividends.
Sometimes we are commanded not to forgive. In the scriptures there are always the opposites given from the Lord and this is so we can use our agency hopefully wisely. The Lord hasn’t stuffed us into a box.
