I don’t want to forgive a certain person because I am so fuming at what she did.  I simply refuse to think about this person.  Out of sight in this case means out of mind.  I think I will be fine, but I am checking in with you for your opinion.

It is important to realize that when you are “so fuming” it is not necessarily easy to be rid of that anger.  The idea of out of sight and out of mind is not so easily achieved because the emotion of anger is not always controlled by the mind.  The anger, in other words, can resurface.  If you find this happening to you, then you might consider forgiving.
