If forgiveness sets me free from resentment, then isn’t it the case that forgiveness is about me and not about the one who hurt me?
You need to make a distinction between what forgiveness is and what it accomplishes in you. When you forgive, you are reaching out in mercy toward the one who was unfair to you. As you forgive well, then one accomplishment in you as forgiver is a reduction in resentment. That accomplishment is not the same as what forgiveness is.
