You don't "Have" to.
Nobodys Forcing you to Forgive, not Even GOD.
It has to do with the Spiritual Laws
of Reaping what YOU have Sown.
When you forgive, Good comes back to you.
Peace of Mind, Mercy, Release of Anger and Hate Feelings that can Hurt YOU instead of Them. (Don't worry, the same Laws will take care of the Agressors---and GOD said "Vengence is MINE, I will Repay") so the People who Ticked you Off WILL get theirs.
But, if you Take Vengence out of GODs Hand's, then you'll get Yours--AGAIN!
Up to you.
(Defend Yourself Physically though, nobody has the Right to Hurt you Physically, Defend Yourself Spiritually FIRST---and if you Don't know How, Defend yourself Physically SECOND.
Just like Sickness and Disease, IF you know HOW to Recieve your Healing Spiritually, then Get Well---If not, you Better get to a Doctor.
Thank you Jesus for Doctors.

God wants us to forgive others, because we have been forgiven of our sins. How can we with hold forgiveness, when we have been given so much mercy?
Forgiveness is also good for our soul. To hold on to a grudge or wrong doing, only hurts us in the long run. Why would you want to hold on to bitterness that pollutes you inside. You really set yourself free when you forgive one another.

Forgiving is an act for the self. If you don't forgive others then you keep it with-in yourself which later in life your body gets illness and all other kinds of diseases.

Because if we do not forgive we begin to think we are superior to others...if we think we are superior, then we think we are Godly...If we think we are Godly, then we worship ourselves rather than worship God....
Besides if we do not forgive...what kind of society would we have...everyone would friggin hate everyone else! what a mess...so quit being an a-s-s and go forgive people so we can have a kegger or something

Actually, you DON'T have to forgive.
However, you grow as a person as you learn to forgive.

Because we are told to forgive our enemy, but that doesn't mean you will ever forget.
