16. It may not be necessary or even possible to forgive.

As I mentioned above, there are circumstances where I think it would probably be impossible for me to forgive. I don't think it makes you a bad person if you are unable to forgive someone. After all, it is you who has been wronged.

However, for me, personally, in my unique situation, I felt it was necessary to forgive for my own well being. I also felt that it was unfair to hold a grudge after so many years for people I knew had changed for the better and had probably recognized their own mistakes. But that's my situation. I realize that this is a very personal issue and I'm not going to try to tell you how you should feel.
