Forgiveness is the choice that a person makes to forgive another person for an offense or something that is illegal or immoral.
Forgiveness is intentional and voluntary.
When someone forgives someone else, they let go of negative emotions, for example vengefulness.
They wish their offender well.
Forgiveness is a mental or spiritual process.
It means no longer feeling angry at another person, or at yourself.
This could be because of a crime, a sin, an offense, an insult, a difference, an error, a mistake, or a failure.
Forgiveness does not require punishment or restitution.
It is given without any expectation of compensation.
Forgiveness may involve offering an apology.
Forgiveness involves the feelings of the person who forgives and their relationship with the person being forgiven.
Forgiveness can occur without the person being forgiven ever knowing about it.
For example, a person can forgive another person who is dead or who is not seen for a long time.
Forgiveness means forgetting offenses.
It is sincere and genuine.
It does not impose humiliating conditions.
It is not motivated by pride.
True forgiveness is known by deeds and not by words.
Mahatma Gandhi said, "The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
Religious views of forgiveness
Most world religions include teachings about forgiveness.
These teachings form the basis of modern traditions and practices of forgiveness.
In Judaism, if a person causes harm, he or she must go to those he or she has harmed and ask for forgiveness.
If he or she sincerely and honestly apologizes to the person who he or she has harmed and tries to rectify the wrong, the wronged person must forgive him or her.
"[J]ust as I forgive everyone, so may You grant me grace in the eyes of others, that they too forgive me absolutely." —
Tefila Zaka
Each year, Jews observe Yom Kippur, or a Day of Atonement.
Before Yom Kippur, Jews will ask forgiveness of those they have wronged during the past year (if they have not already done so).
During Yom Kippur itself, Jews fast and pray for God's forgiveness for the sins they have made against God in the past year.
God can only forgive one for the sins one has committed against God.
This is why it is necessary for Jews also to seek forgiveness from those people who they have wronged.
In Christianity, Jesus spoke of the importance of forgiving others, or showing mercy.
In the New Testament, there are several examples.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” —
Matthew 5:7 (NIV)
“But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also.” —
Luke 6:27-29 (NIV)
“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” —
Luke 6:36 (NIV)
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged.
Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.
Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” —
Luke 6:37 (NIV)
Jesus used the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:21-35) to say that we should forgive without limits.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is perhaps the best known parable about forgiveness and refers to God's forgiveness for his people.
Islam teaches that Allah is Al-Ghaffur ("The Oft-Forgiving") and that Allah is the original source of all forgiveness (ghufran غفران).
Seeking forgiveness from Allah with repentance is a virtue.
"Allah forgives what is past." —
Qur'an 5:95
Islam recommends forgiveness between believers, because Allah values forgiveness.
However, Islam also allows revenge, to the extent of the harm that was done.
"The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto: but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for Allah loveth not those who do wrong." —
Qur'an 42:40
In the Bahá'í Faith, Bahá'í literature explains how to be forgiving towards others.
"Love the creatures for the sake of God and not for themselves.
You will never become angry or impatient if you love them for the sake of God.
Humanity is not perfect.
There are imperfections in every human being, and you will always become unhappy if you look toward the people themselves.
But if you look toward God, you will love them and be kind to them, for the world of God is the world of perfection and complete mercy.
Therefore, do not look at the shortcomings of anybody; see with the sight of forgiveness." —
`Abdu'l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 92
In Buddhism, forgiveness prevents harmful thoughts from damaging a person’s mental well-being.
Buddhism recognizes that feelings of hatred have a lasting effect on karma.
Buddhism encourages thoughts that have a positive effect.
When there is resentment, the Buddhist practice is to calmly release them.
Buddhism focuses on release from suffering through meditation.
"If we haven’t forgiven, we keep creating an identity around our pain, and that is what is reborn.
That is what suffers."
Buddhism emphasizes mettā (loving kindness), karuṇā (compassion), mudita (joy), and upekkhā (equanimity), as ways to avoid resentments in the first place.
These ideas help to understand suffering in the world, both our own suffering and the suffering of others.
Forgiveness is one of the six cardinal virtues of Hinduism.
A person who does not forgive carries baggage of bad memories, negative feelings, and unresolved emotions that affect the present as well as the future.
In Hinduism, one must forgive others, and one must also seek forgiveness for wronging someone else.
Hindu epics and ancient literature also discuss forgiveness.
"Forgiveness is virtue; forgiveness is sacrifice; forgiveness is the Vedas; forgiveness is the Shruti; ... forgiveness is holiness; and by forgiveness ... the universe is held together." —
Mahabharata, Book 3, Vana Parva, Section XXIX
"Righteousness is the one highest good, forgiveness is the one supreme peace, knowledge is one supreme contentment, and benevolence, one sole happiness." —
Mahabharata, Book 5, Udyoga Parva, Section XXXIII
In Hinduism, you seek forgiveness from those you have wronged, and from society at large through charity, purification, fasting, rituals, and meditation.
Forgiveness in Hinduism does not require that a person make peace with their offender and it does not rule out reconciliation in some situations.
Forgiveness in Hindu philosophy is being compassionate, tender, kind and letting go of the harm or hurt caused by someone or something else.
Forgiveness is essential for one to free oneself from negative thoughts, and being able to focus on blissfully living a moral and ethical life (dharmic life).
In the highest self-realized state, forgiveness becomes essence of one’s personality, where the persecuted person remains unaffected, without agitation, without feeling like a victim, free from anger (akrodhi).
In Jainism, forgiveness is one of the main virtues that needs to be acquired by the Jains.
Forgiveness (or kṣamāpanā) forms part of one of the ten characteristics of dharma.
Jain texts quote Māhavīra on forgiveness:
By practicing prāyaṣcitta (repentance), a soul gets rid of sins, and commits no transgressions; he who correctly practises prāyaṣcitta gains the road and the reward of the road, he wins the reward of good conduct.
By begging forgiveness he obtains happiness of mind; thereby he acquires a kind disposition towards all kinds of living beings; by this kind disposition he obtains purity of character and freedom from fear.—
Māhavīra in Uttarādhyayana Sūtra 29:17–18
In the Jain prayer pratikramana, Jains repeatedly seek forgiveness from various creatures — even from beings like plants and microorganisms that they may have harmed while eating and working.
I seek forgiveness from all those living beings which I may have tortured while walking, coming and going, treading on living organism, seeds, green grass, dew drops, ant hills, moss, live water, live earth, spider web and others.
I seek forgiveness from all these living beings, be they — one sensed, two sensed, three sensed, four sensed or five sensed.
Which I may have kicked, covered with dust, rubbed with ground, collided with other, turned upside down, tormented, frightened, shifted from one place to another or killed and deprived them of their lives. (
By confessing) may I be absolved of all these sins.
Forgiveness is asked by uttering the phrase, Micchāmi dukkaḍaṃ.
This phrase means, "May all the evil that has been done be fruitless."
On samvatsari, Jains greet their friends and relatives saying micchāmi dukkaḍaṃ and seeking their forgiveness.
Letters are sent and telephone calls are made to friends and relatives asking their forgiveness.
There are no arguments or disputes after samvatsari.

The BDS movement is a campaign to help Palestinians.
The letters BDS stand for "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions".
They help Palestinians by attempting to put economic and political pressure on Israel.
They want an end of Israeli occupation of Palestine.
The group thinks that they can create a Palestinian state by boycotting the Israeli government.
The movement may be hurting the Palestinian economy while having little overall effect on the Israeli economy.
An example is the Israeli-owned soft drink company SodaStream.
Hundreds of Palestinians lost good paying jobs in the West Bank when SodaStream moved its factory to southern Israel.
SodaStream denied the move was BDS-related but their profits fell after BDS targeted them.
The movement has become popular on many US college Campuses.
But no US schools have sold any stocks and none are expected to do so .
Israel is concerned about the increasing number of American Jews who oppose Israel's policies.
Some have even joined BDS campaigns.

The North African Campaign was part of the Second World War.
It took place in North Africa from 10 June 1940 to 13 May 1943.
The campaign in North Africa included fighting in the Libyan and Egyptian deserts (the Desert War), and in Morocco and Algeria (Operation Torch) and Tunisia (Tunisia Campaign).
There was a see-saw series of battles for the control of Libya and parts of Egypt.
The Siege of Tobruk in 1941 was one of the turning points.
During the Second Battle of El Alamein, British Commonwealth forces, under the command of Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery, decisively defeated the Afrika Korps and other Axis forces and pushed them back to Tunisia.
The late 1942 Allied landings in Operation Torch in North-West Africa was done to mop up the remaining enemy forces.
There were battles against Vichy France forces, which then changed sides.
The Allies suffered a serious defeat at the Battle of the Kasserine Pass.
Later, they defeated the Axis forces in southern Tunisia (Battle of Mareth), then encircled the remaining Italian and German troops in northern Tunisia and finally forced them to surrender.
After the fall of Tunis, the last troops to surrender were the Italians of Heneral Messe on May 13, 1943 in the northern Tunisian peninsula of Cape Bon.
The Sherman Brothers were an American songwriting duo that wrote music for musical movies.
They were Robert B. Sherman (December 19, 1925 – March 6, 2012) and Richard M. Sherman (born June 12, 1928).
The Sherman Brothers wrote more motion-picture musical song scores than any other songwriting team in movie history.
Movie scores of the Sherman Brothers include Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Jungle Book, Charlotte's Web and The Aristocats.
Sons of Russian Jewish immigrants, Robert and Richard Sherman began writing songs together in 1951 on a challenge from their father, Tin Pan Alley songwriter Al Sherman.
The brothers wrote together and with different songwriting partners throughout the rest of the decade.
In 1958 Robert founded the music publishing company Music World Corporation.
It later had a relationship with Disney's BMI-affiliated publishing arm, Wonderland Music Company.
That same year, the Sherman Brothers had their first top-ten hit with "Tall Paul," sung by Mouseketeer Judy Harriet on the Surf Records label.
It was also sung by Mouseketeer Annette Funicello.
The success of this song got the attention of Walt Disney.
He then hired the Sherman Brothers as Staff Songwriters for Walt Disney Studios.
The first song they wrote on personal assignment by Walt Disney was "Strummin' Song" in 1961.
It was used in the Annette Funicello made-for-television movie called The Horsemasters.
While at Disney, the Sherman Brothers wrote more motion-picture musical scores than any other songwriters in the history of movies.
They also wrote what is perhaps their best-known song, "it's a small world (after all)" for the 1964 New York World's Fair.
Since then, some have claimed that this has become the most translated and performed song on Earth, although this is largely due to the fact that it is played at Disney's theme park "it's a small world" attractions of the same name.
In 1965 the Sherman Brothers won two Academy Awards for Mary Poppins, which includes the songs "Feed The Birds," "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," and the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee."
Since Mary Poppins first was shown, the Shermans have  earned nine Academy Award nominations, two Grammy Awards, four Grammy Award nominations, and 23 gold- and platinum-certified albums.
Robert and Richard Sherman worked directly for Walt Disney, completing the scores for the live-action musical movies The Happiest Millionaire and The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band until Disney's death in 1966.
Since leaving the company, the brothers have worked freelance as songwriters on scores of motion pictures, television shows, theme-park exhibits, and stage musicals.
Their first non-Disney assignment came with Albert R. Broccoli's motion picture production Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for United Artists in 1968.
It got the brothers their third Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for its particularly memorable titular song.
In 1970, the Shermans returned to Disney for a brief stint where they completed work on The Aristocats and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
The latter movie got the brothers their fourth and fifth Oscar nominations.
1972 saw the release of Snoopy Come Home, for which the brothers received a Grammy nomination.
In 1973 the Sherman Brothers also made history by becoming the only Americans ever to win First Prize at the Moscow Film Festival for Tom Sawyer, for which they also authored the screenplay.
In 1976 “The Slipper and the Rose” was picked to be the Royal Command Performance of the year.
A modern musical version of the classic Cinderella story, "Slipper", also featured songs, score, and screenplay by the Sherman Brothers.
Two further Academy Award nominations were gotten by the brothers for the movie.
That same year the Sherman Brothers got their star on the Hollywood "Walk of Fame" directly across from Grauman's Chinese Theater.
The Sherman Brothers' many other Disney and non-Disney top box office movie credits include The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), The Parent Trap (1961), The Parent Trap (1998), Charlotte's Web (1973), Huckleberry Finn (1974),The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977), Snoopy, Come Home (1972), Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971),  and Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989).
Outside motion-pictures, their Tony Award-nominated smash hit Over Here! (
1974) was the biggest-grossing original Broadway musical of that year.
The Sherman Brothers have also written numerous top selling songs including "You're Sixteen," which reached Billboard's Hot 100 top 10 twice: first with Johnny Burnette in 1960 and then at #1 with Ringo Starr more than thirteen years later.
Other top-ten hits include "Pineapple Princess," "Let's Get Together," and more.
In 2000 the Sherman Brothers wrote the song score for the Disney movie The Tigger Movie.
This movie marked the brothers' first major motion picture for the Disney company in over 28 years.
In 2003, four Sherman Brothers' musicals ranked in the Top 10 Favorite Children's Films of All Time in a British nationwide poll reported by the BBC.
Most notably, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 1968 topped the list at #1.
In later years, with Robert's move to London, the brothers wrote many new songs for the stage musical presentations of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins, produced by Disney and Cameron Mackintosh.
For their contributions to the motion picture industry, the Sherman brothers have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6918 Hollywood Blvd.
They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on June 9, 2005.
On November 16, 2006, Mary Poppins premiered at the New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway.
On November 17, 2008 the Sherman Brothers got the National Medal of Arts which is the highest honor given to artists by the United States Government.
The award was presented by United States President George W. Bush in an East Room ceremony at The White House.
On May 22, 2009, The Boys: the Sherman Brothers’ Story, a movie about the pair, was shown in theatres.
The movie was directed and produced by their sons, Gregory V. Sherman and Jeff Sherman.
It was put out by Walt Disney Pictures.
In October 2009, Disney released a 59 track, two CD compendium of their work for the studio spanning forty-two years.
The CD is titled "The Sherman Brothers Songbook".
On March 11, 2010 the Sherman Brothers were presented with a Window on Mainstreet Disneyland in Anaheim, California, in honor of their contribution to Disney theme parks.
On May 17, 2010, the Sherman Brothers received the "Career Achievement Award" at The Theatre Museum's 2010 Awards Gala in New York City.
Later achievements
In 2000 the Sherman Brothers wrote the award winning score to The Tigger Movie.
It gained number-one status in both theatrical box office and video sales.
They also composed a song for the movie called "Your Heart Will Lead You Home".
It was co-written and performed by Kenny Loggins.
The Sherman Brothers' motion picture Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was adapted into a London West End Musical in 2002.
It played at the London Palladium on April 16, 2002, featuring many new songs and a reworked score by both Sherman Brothers.
It was nominated for a 2003 Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best New Musical.
The Sherman Brothers each received the Musical Theatre Award from the Variety Club of Great Britain that year as well for Chitty.
It finished a record breaking three-and-a-half-year run at the Palladium.
It became the longest running show in the theater's century long history.
In 2004, the premiere of Mary Poppins arrived on the stage.
In 2005, Poppins was nominated for nine Olivier Awards.
In 2005, Chitty went to Broadway and was nominated for nine Tonys and also began its nationwide (UK) tour.
On June 9, 2005, both Shermans were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame alongside Bill Withers, Steve Cropper, John Fogerty, Isaac Hayes, and David Porter.
On November 16, 2006, the Cameron Mackintosh/Disney production of Mary Poppins made its Broadway premiere at the New Amsterdam Theater featuring the Sherman Brothers’ classic songs.
In 2007 during the 40th-anniversary DVD rerelease of The Jungle Book London press junket, the Sherman Brothers were witnessed by press working on a new song for Inkas (see below) in the same Brown's Hotel room where The Jungle Book was originally penned by British writer Rudyard Kipling over a hundred years earlier.
In February 2008, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang began a second UK tour.
In 2008 and 2009, Poppins premiered in numerous cities throughout the world including Stockholm, Copenhagen, Budapest, Toronto, Shanghai, Sydney, Johannesburg, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and Helsinki.
Full UK and US tours of Poppins also commenced in 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively.
On May 21, 2011, the Sherman Brothers were each awarded honorary doctorate degrees in Fine Arts from their alma mater, Bard College.
This was Robert's second honorary doctorate.
His first was granted by Lincoln College on May 12, 1990.
Robert's critically acclaimed autobiography, Moose: Chapters From My Life was published after his death by AuthorHouse Publishers on November 27, 2013 in anticipation of the release of the Walt Disney Pictures movie Saving Mr. Banks.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a 1968 British fantasy musical film, loosely based on Ian Fleming's novel Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car.
The movie's script is by Roald Dahl and Ken Hughes.
The songs are by the Sherman Brothers.
The song "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was nominated for an Academy Award.
The film stars Dick Van Dyke as Caractacus Potts, Sally Ann Howes as Truly Scrumptious, Lionel Jeffries as Grandpa Potts, James Robertson Justice as Lord Scrumptious and Robert Helpmann as the Childcatcher.
The film was directed by Ken Hughes.
It was produced by Albert R. Broccoli (co-producer of the James Bond series of films, also based on Fleming's novels).
John Stears supervised the special effects.
Irwin Kostal supervised and conducted the music.
The musical numbers were staged by Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood.
Baron Bomburst is the main antagonist in the 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
He is a cruel king and a pirate who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the enchanted car.
In spite of being so cruel and tyrannical, it is clear that he is also incredibly childish, as shown by his selfish love of toys, his whiny nature, and his determination to get everything he wants.
Incidentally, the book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was written by James Bond's creator Ian Fleming, and both films were produced by Albert R .
Baroness Bomburst is a supporting antagonist and hero in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and later the stage musical adaptation.
The character was created by screenwriter Roald Dahl and did not appear in the original Ian Fleming novel.
In the 1968 film, she is played by Anna Quayle In the theatrical version in London, she was played by Nichola McAuliffe, Sandra Dickinson, and Louise Gold amongst others, and on Broadway, she was played by Jan Maxwell.
On the UK National tour, she has been played by (amongst others) Louise Plowright, Jane Gurnett, Kim Ismay, Tamsin Carroll, Michelle Collins, and Claire Sweeney.
First appearing as a gentleman pirate when the Potts and Truly Scrumptious are picnicking on the beach, he reveals a cruel and greedy streak by attempting to steal the enchanted car, and then he orders his men to load cannons, and when The Car floats he wants it even more.
But the car escapes much to his disappointment, and seeing that the car is able to float and move like a speedboat on the sea, he sabotages the Potts' home by air and kidnaps Grandfather Potts, mistaking him for the inventor of Chitty.
Later, when the Potts follow Bomburst's airship to his native Vulgaria, they discover how cruelly the Baron treats his subjects.
Although it is stated that "the Baroness hates children" and that it is the Baroness who sends for the Child Catcher, it's obvious that the Baron himself hates children as well, and his greed is evident all the more when it is revealed that all the toys made by Vulgaria's toymaker are for him.
Baron Bomburst is last seen when a huge battle occurs in his castle by an ambush lead by Caractacus Potts, Bomburst's loyal servant The Toymaker, the children of the villagers, and Truly Scrumptious.
He and his wife cowardly hide from the battle and see lots of children ambush his castle.
Wondering where the children are coming from the Bomburst couple summons the Child Catcher but even the Child Catcher is ultimately defeated by the Children and is left hanging from a net in the air.
Realizing the Child Catcher is defeated Baroness suggests escaping down a slide.
Baron Bomburst at first doesn't like the idea, due to not wanting to get his clothes dirty, but the couple goes down anyway and gets trapped in the Child Catcher's cage-car and the Bomburst couple is defeated.
The Villagers help battle the Cavalry and Bomburst gets defeated in the battle.
With the Baron and Baroness defeated the Cavalry retreats the battle in terror.
Though Vulgaria then becomes a free country, it is completely unknown what happened to the Bomburst couple afterward, but as they did not execute any kid, it is highly likely that they were not executed for their crimes and were either exiled or sent to the very dungeons
Jeremy and Jeremiah Potts got captured by the child catcher, who was disguised as an ice cream man They, along with their father, the toymaker and Truly Scrumptious finally capturing the Child Catcher.
Who later appears in the advert or sequel as a minor character  who will later appear in the advert but they don't speak ready to take them back to the Baron Bomburst.

Film critic Roger Ebert reviewed the film (Chicago Sun-Times, 24 December 1968).
He wrote: "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang contains about the best two-hour children's movie you could hope for, with a marvelous magical auto and lots of adventure and a nutty old grandpa and a mean Baron and some funny dances and a couple of [scary] moments."
Film critic and historian Leonard Maltin considered the picture "one big Edsel.
He said the movie had a totally forgettable score and some of the shoddiest special effects ever."
In 2008, Entertainment Weekly called Helpmann's depiction of the Child Catcher one of the "50 Most Vile Movie Villains."
