I feel like I’m being asked to forgive too much when I say yes. I am not all that exceptional; forgiveness is for all the holy people in the world. Do you think it would be okay if I just moved past this forgiving thing and carried on with my less-than-perfect life?

Forgiveness, according to the late Lewis Smedes, is reserved for individuals who are not perfect. Nobody is born with the ability to forgive well. We become more adept at understanding and extending forgiveness as we gain experience. Therefore, even if I’m a flawed person, I urge you to start small on the path to developing effective forgiveness.
