I saw a quote somewhere, I think Anne Lamott sharedit but it isn't hers - forgiveness is giving up any chance for a different past.
When people were pissing me off and doing hateful things during the Covoodoo fest, I just forgave them instantly and that part went away. Doesn't mean I trust them, though; they can go hoe their own rows without me unless they want to engage in a little self-awareness. But that's between them and their God, not me.
