Can you truly forgive someone without ever reconciling with him or her?
Yes, you truly can forgive a person without reconciling because forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation. Forgiveness is a moral virtue of having mercy on those who were not good to the forgiver. Reconciliation is not a moral virtue, but instead is a coming together again in mutual trust. If the other person remains unrepentant and not trustworthy, your forgiveness is doing the best that you can. You then can go in peace knowing that you tried your best. Reconciliation now is the other person’s choice.
