Question 3 of 10: Is this correct?: Forgiveness is for you, not for the one who was unfair to you.

The Internet is a double-edged sword. It can enlighten and quickly, but at the same time, it can mislead.  When I searched the Internet for the definition and some general issues on forgiveness, I was surprised by a rising consensus in up to 10 areas, each of which seems odd to me.  May I ask you to consider each one of these “discoveries” so that you can help me to understand better? Thank you in advance for your time.

If this were true, then forgiveness is not a moral virtue. Instead, it is a self-help strategy that might end up dismissing the other person.
