I'm not really into forgiveness, I don't see it as a virtue.
Letting go of hate can be in your own interest.
If someone owes you a debt and they've made an effort, repaid you in part, forgiveness of the balance may be acceptable.
I citizen foregoes seeking recompense from a criminal and assigns the debt to society/police.
If a drunk guy crashes into my tree. The tree is OK but the guy is obviously drunk. Does the same thing next day. Having the police deal with him would have nothing to day with revenge, he's a danger that needs to be dealt with. This guy doesn't owe me a debt though, not any more than others living in the area.
