Forgiveness is not for the other person....it is for you! So forgive them FOR YOU, not for them.
So this to me is is like telling someone to detach. Yep it's a great and beautiful concept if it were only that easy. I absolutely think you can not forgive and not be bitter. I also think forgiveness can come over time just like detachment. There are so many variables.
Let's also remember that if forgiveness was so easy we wouldn't have any LBS in this forum.
