Rethinking Forgiveness

Forgiveness always seemed like a straightforward concept. However, the more I’ve thought about it and have been presented with opportunities to forgive I find it harder to “just forgive”. Maybe the context of what the original offense was, or the perceived intent of the the original offense towards me changes what I consider needed in order to forgive. As I’m still mulling this over, I’m curious what your experience has been with forgiving someone for something that happened to you directly.
