Don’t you think that time is more important than forgiveness?  With patience, won’t angers toward offending people just melt away?

If the offense was deep and the resultant hurts are significant, time alone will not necessarily “melt away” the angers.  For example, Mary Hansen did a research study with elderly women in hospice.  Some of them were carrying resentments In their hearts for decades before they forgave.  Time, in other words, does not necessarily “heal all wounds” as the saying goes.
