I'm just going to keep it as an adjective. English is messed up enough already.

The etymology of "excuse" is:

"attempt to clear (someone) from blame"

also:

"pardon"

ex (meaning out or away)

causa (meaning accusation or justification for action)

The etymology of forgive is to "grant or pardon". Something that cannot be done solo.

I disagree that forgiveness (of people that aren't sorry) is essential for a better life. Better than what? Is my life so horrible because I won't forgive my mother in law for removing the dog? I have no emotions regarding the issue.

If pretending that forgiveness took place helps you process your emotions, and get them out, then it's healthy, but it's not forgiveness. If it's just a way to ignore your anger, it will kill you.

I thought it would be for onboarding to Nostr.

Right in front of everyone, eh?

You don't have to be angry at someone to not forgive them. I'm don't agree that my mother-in-law should have sent her adult daughter's emotional support dog out of the house, but I'm not upset by it. I don't see any purpose or benefit to attempt to convince myself her actions are acceptable.

Also, I completely disagree that forgiveness is solo activity. You can't forgive someone that doesn't ask for it first. The rest is ego-stroking.

If they don't view themselves as being in the wrong, then telling them that you forgive them is insulting.

If you're not telling them, then you're not involving anyone else, so no one is forgiven.

You can't reapectfully forgive someone that's not asking for it.

I think I'm going to write to all my friends and tell them that I've had them permanently banned from Nostr.

Watching someone play guitar on a video doesn't mean you can play guitar either. I guess some people think watching action flicks makes them a hero?

Practice is required if you want to learn something. I would hope most people understand that. If not, maybe it's for a reason? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
