Forgive your parents, forgive your enemies, until you realize they are all reflections of yourself thus You forgive Yourself.

I forgive because it's required, it's the price you pay for Heaven Membership

And how do we find the balance of people who are worthy of forgiveness and people who just need to be cut out of our life?

Cut them, just don't hold a grudge. Forgiving them is not putting up with them. Leave them and pray for them.

True. Protect your mental health. Forgive, pray for, cut them loose. Remember too that “forgive and forget” might not always apply. God gave us a memory in forgiveness also. “Forgetting” might cause us to trust them when we needed to cut them loose/stay away, thus possibly going through an unnecessary cycle of hurt.

So true Jimmy!

It is indeed hard to forgive the hate and fear that so many gleefully took into themselves.

Yes, and don't be surprised if you have to do it more than once - sometimes grudges sneak back in. It can be hard to forgive... ultimately for me it comes down to believing there is a way to love life no matter what.

I don’t forgive shit.

I can only forgive when they apologize. Otherwise, it's for show, and a waste of time.
