What if a person is not sure if what happened to him is a true injustice? For example, a co-worker yelled at me. Yet, I have to admit that I was over-bearing in what I was asking regarding a particular work task. I am not sure if maybe I deserved the yelling, in which case perhaps it was not an injustice at all requiring my forgiveness.
It seems that both of you could benefit from forgiving each other, if you choose to do so. You may have been unjust in being “over-bearing.” The other person had many choices with which to respond, and yelling was only one such possible response. The yelling, which could be interpreted as a lack of respect at the moment toward you, can be interpreted as an unjust event. Beyond forgiving each other, you also might consider seeking forgiveness from each other for these interactions.
