2012 • E17 Jul 24, 2012 60mIs there too much pressure on people to forgive?
The ability to forgive people who have hurt or betrayed us is often seen as something to aspire to; a necessary step to healing and moving on.
But some believe there is too much pressure on people to forgive. One expert is championing a so-called 'healthy unforgiveness" instead.
This week, Insight asks whether it’s always possible (and desirable) to 'forgive and forget’, whether an apology makes a difference, and whether forgiving yourself is sometimes the hardest challenge of all.
From a reckless decision that's affected two mates forever, to adultery, murder, and an injustice by a government policy – Insight brings together a group of Australians with extraordinary experiences and hears why they can or can't forgive.
