Are there any other moral virtues which call for you to develop love for people who have treated you unfairly?

It seems to me that forgiveness is the one moral virtue for this.  Forgiveness is such a noble virtue because it is offered through our pain to those who inflicted that pain. It demands more of you than most examples of justice (it is typically easy to be fair to people who are fair to you) and the kind of love that is reciprocal (it is easy to love a child who loves you). Giving agape love (in service to others even when it is difficult to do so) to someone who does not give it to you is difficult.
