This is such a perfectly expressed sentiment.
For a great part of my life, I carried the burden of memories of cruel children in my own childhood. From the inevitable bullies to people who just enjoyed making sport of others on occasion.
Part of determining to live a life free of regret (which is most liberating and highly recommended) was allowing myself to forgive those I no longer recall by name but more by deeds. They will never know they were forgiven, nor does that matter. Forgiveness allowed me to shed all of the negative influence they had and rob them of the sway they felt that they had gained in my life all of those years ago.
