If I enter Forgiveness Therapy for my own good, to be relieved of ongoing anger and discouragement, is this selfish? If it is selfish, will this hinder my progress in this kind of therapy?
There are various goals or endpoints in the process of forgiving. For example, you might forgive for the sake of someone who has asked for forgiveness. You also might forgive simply because it is inherently good. Another reason for forgiveness is to alleviate your own anger or discouragement, which is not selfish; rather, it is a form of self-care. As an analogy, if you have torn cartilage in your knee, is it selfish to seek medical help for self-care of the knee?
