Summary

RESPONSE TO 'THE TRUTH ABOUT FORGIVENESS'

I disagree here. You can “forgive” in the sense of letting go of your resentments, without letting them off the hook, and without maintaining your relationship with them.

Keep your abusers accountable, keep them away from you, but hold no resentment nor love for them: only indifference.

and without maintaining a relationship with them.

0:37.0

How do you know what case did you made?
