I Believe Forgiveness Must Be Earned

I really dislike the whole saying of “forgiveness sets you free” etc.

I really dislike when others attempt to force or guilt people into forgiving people who have done them wrong.

There are certain people from my past, that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive for the things they’ve done to me. That doesn’t mean I haven’t moved on, I can assure you that I’ve certainly have.
I believe forgiveness is earned, not simply given.
And to say it in a direct way, they haven’t earned my forgiveness yet.
