Do You Have to Forgive Everyone, even if They're Not Sorry? What's the Truth? Forgiveness (Pt. 1)

Many people have been told, by family, friends, religious leaders, and counselors, that a forgiveness must be the goal for the injured party, regardless of what the oppressor or perpetrator did, even if they are not sorry. Survivors have been told that unconditional forgiveness is a mark of maturity and healing, and that it is important to set the injured party free. But, is that true?
