Forgiveness is about what Jesus was sent here for. The gift of our heavenly Father. If you or the person wanting forgiveness is truly repentent, and will to strive to do better that is all that it is about. Along with prayer. I think the real basis for forgiveness comes in that Jesus on the Cross being crucified, asked his Father to forgive them for they know not what they do.

Forgiving others for personal offenses does not mean that we are condoning or minimizing what they have done; neither does it mean letting others take unfair advantage of us. After all, when Jehovah forgives us, he is certainly not trivializing our sins, and he will never allow sinful humans to trample upon his mercy. Forgiveness is defined as “the act of pardoning an offender; ceasing to feel resentment toward him because of his offense and giving up all claim to recompense.”
We can never forgive in a perfect sense as Jehovah does. But that is all the more reason why we should forgive one another. Consider: There is a vast difference between Jehovah’s forgiveness and ours. When we forgive those who have sinned against us, it is often with the awareness that sooner or later we may need them to return the favor by forgiving us. With humans, it is always a case of sinners forgiving sinners. With Jehovah, however, forgiveness is always one way. He forgives us, but we will never need to forgive him. If Jehovah, who does not sin, can so lovingly and completely forgive us, should not we sinful humans try to forgive one another?

Forgiving is easy, forgetting is the hard part. forgiving is acknowledging a wrong and righting it by apologizing. You must be willing to accept the wrong, either given or received and take it at face value. Now try to forget it...that's hard.

b4 I answer, let me say that I love your questions!!! and I truly mean that.
Forgivness is the will of God. But most people don't understand what TRUE forgiveness is.
It takes the power of God working in us to truly forgive as God forgives. You need to call on the Lord for the power to true forgiveness in your heart and head.
the old saying "to error is human, to forgive is devine" there is so much truth in that. It is our nature to mess up and our nature to NOT forgive those who fail us, sin against us. To truly forgive them takes the Spirit of God working within you!!!!

The desire for forgiveness and the willingness to actually repent for whatever it is you want forgiveness for.

The following text taught me about forgiveness
"Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."
narrated by Termithi, who said it is true and fine hadith
In a version other than that of Tirmithi it reads:
"..Be mindful of Allah, you will find Him before you. Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity. Know that what has passed you by was not going to befall you; and that what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and ease with hardship."
This is hadith number 19 narrated by Abdullah bin Abbas
