Can we Forgive; do we Forgive; what happens when you Forgive; what happens when you do not?

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you."

Let's dialog on this important and sometimes controversial subject.

How do you feel about forgiving the PD, does it help; how so? If you do not want to forgive or chose not to forgive the PD, why not? Fear or reluctance to let go?

What is the payoff for letting go? What is the payoff for holding on?
