Forgiveness - I will remember these things against you no more...

Lack of expectations.
To keep a low level of expectations or to have no expectations at all will ultimately alleviate the need to forgive.
Although if forgiving is needed, I would suppose it could be defined as being able to eliminate any ill feeling derived from what caused the need for forgiving. If there is still some feeling of negative origin then forgiveness can not truly be accomplished.

Unfortunately, forgiveness as some like to believe in it is not real! The closest to it is acceptance! Accepting any wrongs done for whatever general parallel benefit outweighing the cost of the wrongs done... There is no forgetting, but there is disregarding an insult's value as meaningless or repressing it in denial(or mental dementia)!
What we call forgiving is only finding someone/something else's failure/insult/wrong as acceptable to ones standards for ones own purposes!

Forgiveness is the ability not to have any unsettling emotional reaction when you think of the person who has hurt you.

I'm not going to kill you anymore.
Actually, forgiveness is really getting even.
Someone hurts you, they feel bad ( they hurt too ).
That's why you don't forgive someone if they don't feel bad.

forgiveness is a decision you make. you will to let go of the resentment you feel after someone else's offense. that means you pray for that person if necesary, you will not ever bring up the offense.

Letting go of the resentment you feel at another's (real or perceived) wrongdoing.
It doesn't mean that you have to give them another opportunity to do the same thing, it just means that you let go of the angst.
"I forgive you for dropping my older twin baby on his head and killing him, but I still don't want you holding the survivor."

The genuine acceptance of true repentance as full recompense. To forgive is divine; to forget is stupid.
