Of course I have forgiven many people. At my age your toes have been stepped on many times. As Christians we are told to forgive 7 times 70 and more.
Forgiveness though is a concept that does not belong just to the Christians. Its good for everyone to forgive others and its an important part of healthy mental and emotional stability.

I have forgiven people in my day just like everyone else I suppose. Forgiveness is more for your well being than the other person, it makes you feel more at peace with yourself so you dont have that negative energy hanging around you corrupting your soul and causing stress. Remember that mercy is given where mercy is shown. Forgiving people of thier tresspasses against you is healing for you and others. Now if someone keeps doing the same thing over and over again best to forgive and move on.

Speaking only as an abuse victim I can say that I have forgiven someone and it was the only true way I could move on with my life, so yeah I felt better

Yes, I have. It is a hard thing to do when someone has hurt you very badly. But, when you actually forgive someone, it is a wonderful feeling.

Is the best way to get back on track. Takes a big burden from you.

I don't believe in free will, so I forgive everyone. I really have no choice but to forgive everyone, that is just the way my brain is programmed.

No, never. If something bad was done to me, I seek revenge. Not immediate, but when it is not expected. I never forgive. No sense in it. Only happened twice in my life.

Yes, because its unhealthy to dwell on hatred or anger. Feel better? I dunno. I suppose so because I don't think about the past much anymore. I suppose you could say I've moved on.
