To forgive is to pardon.
If someone is pardoned, there has been a trespass;
If there has been a trespass, there is a victim;
If there is a victim, someone has been harmed;
If someone has been harmed, Self is present.
To the extent that one is harmed,
To that extent is Self present.
To the extent that Self is present,
To that extent is spirit absent.
When only spirit is present, no Self can be found;
Where no Self can be found, no injury can occur.
Where no injury has occurred, there has been no trespass.
Where there has been no trespass,
No pardon - no forgiveness - is necessary.
When only spirit is present, no Self can be found;
Where no Self is found,
Only Charity, only Love, remains.
