I personally do. I was once betrayed by someone, and until I hurt them back, I wouldn't have been able to fully forgive them. But, I think the other person would have felt weird being friends with me if I hadn't made things "even Steven" too. Revenge can be healthy, if not taken too far. We're now the best of friends for over 3 years, and we wouldn't have been without my retribution.

No, all I need is to think you might have something in you worth taking another chance for. I have only come across a few people who didn't make the cut. Damn few people are completely worthless.

Not at all. I don't even need the person to acknowledge his wrong doing or to be sorry. They don't even need to know that I forgive them or be alive to hear the forgiveness. It's something I do for myself, not them. I don't need revenge or groveling. I just release their emotional hold on me by forgiving them. They no longer have the ability to control my feelings and make me feel bad or hurt or vengeful.

Honestly, sometimes I do need to see someone "Feel" what I "felt" before I can move on and forgive - something to do with understanding and me wanting them to know what I went through. I think it has to do with needing to know that they won't do it again to someone else - I know that I shouldn't worry about that, but sometimes that's just my mindset.

No to forgive is divine.
-
No. I do need some form of awareness on their part that they have harmed myself or others.
-
I don't think anybody owes me anything. A good old apology is enough for me to offer forgiveness.
-
A sincere apology is enough for me. Buying me a few drinks wouldn't hurt either :P
-
No, but I do require some sort of contrition (the person admits they wronged me and is making an active effort not to do it again).
