Thesis: forgiveness is the worst cruelty of all.
It doesn't come from me it's in this English movie 'Looking for Eric'. But there is something to say for it, it's a form of a personal denouncement to be forgiven for what you actually did. You are left thinking about what you did, out of touch with it, it doesn't matter anymore, even if you are really sorry.

So it's better when it does matter for the rest of your life and you know that they hate you and want you dead?

Was thinking about something more subtle than wanting someone dead; hurting someones feelings and be forgiven for it. Feelings will still be hurt regardless. How can you make things up if you are dismissed of any accountability, you no longer exist.
Edit, has nothing to do with me by the way, it's a musing

If you are dismissed and ignored, that doesn't sound like forgiveness, more like a lack of it.

Hmm. During the Middle-ages, the worst punishment wasn't death, as you still belong to the community (and it helps if you believe in a futures after-life) but banishment. Being an outcast was worst than an outlaw, you were left alone to face dangers and life's uncertainties.
As forgiveness involvement, it depends on the level of morality or guilt is in the "bad" doing.
