There are degrees in how much another party can hurt you. Thus this should be considered if you are thinking about forgiving.
Example a person steals $10 from each of your 3 kids and asks for forgiveness. vs a person who tortured and then killed your 3 kids and does not ask for forgiveness and is not sorry for what he has done.
I would like to make two points about that. For one, this forum so far has not spoken about people who are not penitent. Secondly, I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but I'll forgive everyone anyway no matter what they did because of religion. Again, none of that makes you wrong, but they are things to keep in mind.
