> And Dinah is right. You can't forgive a person for what they did to someone else - it just isn't your right. But you can try to understand what the offending person's motivations are and *maybe* help soften the hurt.I agree that the only thing that a given person can forgive is the part that actually hurt them. But I just wanted to clarify that sometimes we're hurt by seeing people we care about hurt by others, too. So I guess in that sense, one could forgive someone for the hurt they inflict on one by hurting a third party.
Sorry. Nitpicking here.
