If people never behaved with toxic or unhealthy anger, would forgiveness even be necessary?
Research has demonstrated the psychological advantages of forgiving others, but this is not the only reason people do it. Like justice, love, and respect, forgiveness is a moral virtue, making it good in and of itself. Forgiveness can exist in your life and the lives of others as long as it is based on demonstrating virtue, whether or not there is psychological gain. To directly answer your issue, it is unlikely that the human condition in the future will consist merely in responding to injustices with mild, transient, and healthy anger. For this reason, the psychological need for forgiveness will remain.
