This is what the dictionary says about this word that most of us don't want to yield to, many of us would rather hold a grudge, hate, stay angry, be indignant, etc. Please note that one is not able to SMILE and express these qualities. A frown will be evident in your demeanor, so please give this some thought! Just look in the mirror and note what your face is saying to others.

FORGIVENESS

To overlook an offense: to treat the offender as not guilty(as innocent); to send it away, to reject it, not to put it to the offender.
