If I forgive and say to myself, “Everything now is ok,” might this increase my repression of what happened as I try to move away from it?
When you forgive, you do not proclaim to yourself that “everything is ok.” Instead, you stand with courage that what the other person did was unfair, is unfair, and always will be unfair. You see the injustice for what it is, without repression, because you know you can overcome the anger and sadness that are effects of the injustice against you.
