Questions about Forgiveness: Subjective forgiveness

18. Does the objective/subjective principle apply to human relationships?

Yes.

We forgive those who harm us in our minds (objectively), without experiencing the emotional (subjective) joy of reconciliation with them.

We forgive because it's the right thing to do (mimicking God's behaviour), though we often do NOT see an appropriate response from the person we forgive.
