It is hard for me to forgive when I think about the issue of a lack of gratitude from the one receiving my forgiveness. In other words, why bother if the other is indifferent to my forgiveness efforts?
A person who seems indifferent toward your forgiveness efforts may have a change of heart about this in the future. Even if the person never changes from indifference, please keep in mind that when you forgive, regardless of the other’s reaction, you get the benefit of emotional healing, of reduced resentment from the unjust treatment. Therefore, at the very least, you can experience an increase in well-being, and so forgiving is a positive response to unjust treatment.
