What would you say to a person who fears forgiving because it may make him look weak?

I would say this: Is standing up to the pain without passing it to the offending person or to others a sign of weakness?  Is having mercy on those who have not had mercy on you showing weakness or strength?  Is striving for both mercy and fairness together a sign of weakness or strength?  As a person tries for forgiveness and justice, that person is not giving in to others’ unfairness.
