Question 6 of 10: A major part of forgiving is to learn to relax. Is this correct?

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, where is the goodness toward the offending person here?  Relaxation is good, but what happens to your resentment when you get up and stop relaxing? Relaxation may temporarily halt your resentment, but it wont necessarily cure it, and at the same time, the other person is not part of this approach.
