I don’t get it.  How can forgiveness reduce anger in the one who forgives?

Often, when people are treated deeply unjustly by others, they can experience anger and even an ongoing resentment that can last for years.  As people forgive, they begin to see the offending person from a broader perspective than just those hurtful actions.  As the forgivers see the worth in the one who offended, see the other as truly human, the anger toward this person begins to lessen.
