Doesn’t forgiving go against our biological nature of the survival of the fittest?  Don’t we want to step up with courage and stop bad behavior rather than acquiescing to it? 

When we forgive we do not excuse what the other person did.  We can forgive, know what the other did was wrong, and take steps to exercise the moral virtue of justice.  Forgiving and justice seeking can exist side by side.
