<p><b>Forgiveness</b>, in a <a href="/wiki/Psychology" title="Psychology">psychological</a> sense, is the intentional and voluntary process by which one who may have felt initially wronged, victimized, harmed, or hurt goes through a process of changing feelings and attitude regarding a given offender for their actions, and overcomes the impact of the offense, flaw or mistake including negative <a href="/wiki/Emotion" title="Emotion">emotions</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Resentment" title="Resentment">resentment</a> or a desire for vengeance.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a

the negative emotions with positive attitudes (i.e. an increased ability to tolerate the offender),<sup id="cite_ref-apa_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-apa-2"><span

The concept of forgiveness can be in terms of the person forgiven or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. In most contexts, forgiveness is granted without any expectation of <a href="/wiki/Restorative_justice" title="Restorative justice">restorative justice</a>, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/incommunicado" class="extiw" title="wikt:incommunicado">incommunicado</a> or dead).

However, <a href="/wiki/Hannah_Arendt" title="Hannah Arendt">Hannah Arendt</a> considers that the "faculty of forgiveness" has its place in public affairs. She believes that forgiveness can liberate resources both individually and collectively in the face of the irreparable, by freeing people to act in ways that are not merely reactive to the original wrong: "Forgiving is the only reaction which does not merely re-act but acts a new and unexpectedly, unconditioned by the act which provoked it and therefore freeing from its consequences both the one who forgives and the one who is forgiven."<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>In a study conducted in Rwanda to examine the discourses and practices of forgiveness following the <a href="/wiki/Rwandan_genocide" title="Rwandan genocide">1994 genocide</a>, sociologist Benoit Guillou highlighted the extensive range of meanings associated with the term "forgiveness" and its underlying political nature.
