According to your forgiveness procedure, we should wait before forgiving someone. Is it ever acceptable to begin forgiving right away, when the injustice has just occurred and the hurt is still raw?

Most individuals need some time to cool down, feel the anger, and consider what happened before they are ready to forgive. However, this does not mean that forgiveness does not start right away for some people. It is acceptable to begin some of the forgiveness exercises immediately if you are ready and have some experience with the forgiveness process.  This could entail, for instance, starting to recognize the intrinsic value in the person who caused you pain.
