A good while ago there was an US university student and anti-apartheid activist stabbed and stoned to death by four black men while a mob shouted anti-white slurs in Cape Town South Africa. The parents of the girl publicly forgave the perpetrators.
The men were released by the new government some time later.
Now that is the kind of response I believe is expected of us. I believe I have forgiven everyone for every sin against me but I think I have a long way to go before I could do that.
AMEN

I believe forgiveness is something you feel come to you, it's not something you can choose to do.
