I personally believe that it is possible to forgive the one who cruelly hurt us. Because the one who is an evil being does not suffer because he did wrong, it is the victim who bears the suffering. I, myself, can forgive wholeheartedly, but what I cannot erase is what I experienced, who hurt me and what he hurt me. I can never forget that. And much less have the person next to me wanting to justify himself.
I tell you I can say "I forgive you, but stay away from me."
