A friend recently made the claim that people-pleasers are the best forgivers because they want others to praise them for their magnanimous overture of forgiveness. Does this make sense, or is there a flaw in this thinking?
I think, as you say, that there is a flaw in this reasoning because forgiveness is to will the good of the other person. The focus of genuine forgiveness is on the one who acted unjustly and not on the self to get the applause of others.
