Thank you for your clarification about the distinction between forgiving and excusing. When I consult dictionaries, I see that they often equate forgiving and excusing. What do you think of that?

Those who write the dictionary definitions for excusing and forgiving probably are not philosophers and so they are making a mistake in not more clearly articulating the specific difference between these two concepts.
