If I say in my heart, “I forgive you,” is that sufficient or is there more to it?
Forgiving someone who has hurt you is more than a proclamation, whether done verbally or in your own thought process. Forgiveness involves a transformation of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors toward those who were unfair to you. The proclamation, “I forgive you,” needs to be accompanied by kinder thoughts and feelings toward the person for a more complete version of what forgiveness is as a moral virtue.
