/fəˈɡɪvnɪs/

the action or process of forgiving or being forgiven.

It is most challenging to forgive those close to you if they injure or betray you. Sometimes the degree of trust broken dictates how easy or difficult it is to forgive. However, it is true that the easier we find it to forgive someone, the less likely it is that we will suffocate ourselves by harbouring ill will against the wrongdoer. It is a strength more than a weakness, and it is that strength that keeps us sane, an underrated form of self-love; something that is worthy of self-gratuity.
