Understanding Forgiveness and Victim Blaming

Forgiveness is not about forgetting or demanding forgiveness from the victim. The misconception of forgiveness often leads to victim blaming, shifting the burden onto the betrayed individual. True forgiveness involves recognizing the humanity in others, accepting flaws, and honoring their imperfections. It is a personal journey that promotes healing and understanding, not a means of coercion or manipulation by the offender.
