When people transgress against us, we often don't take it well. We see transgressions, especially severe ones directed at us, as hard to forgive.
From an evolutionary perspective, forgiving people too quickly and easily can be problematic. We evolved in a context of reciprocal altruism.
Genuine forgiveness has numerous benefits for the forgiver and the overall social relationship, yet it also raises questions about accountability.
Nobody's perfect, and social life inherently brings conflict. Navigating forgiveness is a crucial part of maintaining healthy relationships.
