Forgiveness is overrated. Do this instead.

"So what i say is this: you can have compassion without forgiving."

Granted, for some, forgiveness can serve as a powerful release – you forgive the person who wronged you, without condoning his actions, and it allows you to move on, but too often people feel pressure to forgive, and then end up believing that something wrong with them, if they can't quite get – that they are not enlightened enough or strong enough or compassionate enough.
