How do I forgive someone who hurt me when I keep seeing them as a criminal?
Drop unrealistic expectations of people
People first expect too much, then make a criminal of someone in their mind, and only later try to forgive. Accept people as they are, since you are not perfect and neither is anyone around you.
Because their expectations are unrealistic, people make a criminal of someone in their mind, and then one day they forgive them. Don't play God.
