What do you think about forgiveness ?

I just saw a post here talking about forgiveness and I was wondering : how do you feel about that ?

As far as I’m concerned, I don’t like that “you must forgive them” speech… No. According to me, forgiveness is not mandatory. I have a right to be angry, I have a right to hate them, because they are aware of what they did. And this feeling has become stronger ever since I became a mother.

Maybe it’s because I’m young. Maybe it’s bad to consider my forgiveness a gift. But everytime I hear that I owe them forgiveness, a part of me feels bad… As if I was doing something wrong.
