What is the difference between forgiving and forgetting? Aren’t they basically the same as you “let go” after a person treats you unfairly?
Forgetting is not a moral virtue. You can forget or put an unfair incident behind you, without any effort extended toward the one who was unfair. When you forgive, you deliberately have mercy on this person. Forgiveness focuses mercifully on the other. When we forget, this is not always the case.
