I think one of the most stupid and untrue things in the word is the notion that you can forgive something but still keep your distance from the person you forgive. Because I really think that if you truly forgive them, you will allow them the same place back in your life. And if you don't, you haven't really forgiven them. Here's the thing though. I do not think it's really necessary to forgive everyone. Sometimes I think it's just ok that you don't forgive, so long as you don't become vengeful or anything.
But returning back to actually forgiving people- here is a Rumi quote that I found in a book i was reading that I think describes forgiveness to a T: "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field. I'll meet you there."
