To Forgive Is Definite

AITTOW thinks we have a huge disconnect when we speak of forgiveness? Even if it is sincere, I think the forgiver only forgives in part while the forgivee believes they have been exonerated completely. The forgivee needs to know that they are probably getting the bare minimum of civility that the forgiver can extend to them. They need to know that they are not in a much different position than where they started. This isn't absolution. The slate isn't clean.
