I find it difficult to empathize with people if I can’t see them, engage with them, or feel their suffering. So how can I truly forgive someone who isn’t currently in my life?
I suggest that you begin with thinking activities. In my book, Forgiveness Is a Choice, I discuss adopting a broader perspective on the people you wish to forgive. These viewpoints—personal, global, and cosmic—help you see others as vulnerable and possibly in pain, which can increase your empathy for them.
