May I follow up again? What do you mean when you say that I as a forgiver begin to view the other “more broadly”?

I mean this: There is more to the person who offended you than those unjust actions.  Take your own case.  Have you ever behaved unjustly toward others?  If so, would you want those behaviors to be the final word on who you are as a person? After all, don’t you have the capacity to help others, to love others even when it is difficult for you to offer this kind of love to others?  This is the broader perspective.  We all have at least the potentiality to be people who help and who love others.
