Providing new pathways to think about the ways we expect and react to wrongdoing, Prof. Cherry offers in-depth advice and takeaways, including 1) Forgiveness entails forgivers, withholders, and requestors, not just villains and victims; 2) Forgiveness is not an action or a process, but rather a set of moral practices; 3) It can end with relief, release, or reconciliation; and 4) Forgiveness will not save us but changing our relationship with it will get us closer to saving ourselves.
