forgiveness

Description

Forgiveness is the social ritual that erases transgressions from record while sending inner grudges on a temporary leave. In practice it’s a pact to pretend forgetting as you await the next offense. Uttered, it lightens conscience but quietly accumulates endless debts. Ultimately, forgiveness is less a gift than a test of the recipient’s bravery.
