Chris --
Good post. Forgiveness is for the person -- the secular medical establishment even encourages it -- perhaps not in the same terms but it is letting go -- and in letting go you're not letter the offender get away with it -- you the offendee just don't have to hurt or be bitter. All of this is easier said than done especially when you figure in that justice isn't something that happens a lot now a days AND when the person who has offended you will not take responsibility let alone make ammends and reconcile -- well if that person is a spouse or close friend or relative -- that can be very difficult to work through.
