Lesson Overview

32.2 – The Difference Between Forgiveness and Excusing: Forgiving and excusing are not the same thing, though they are often confused. Excusing means trying to justify someone’s behavior or saying it wasn’t wrong, while forgiveness means acknowledging the hurt but deciding to release its grip on you. Forgiveness is active—it takes courage, thought, and emotional strength to let go of resentment while still holding people accountable. Excusing can keep you from processing your emotions because it avoids the truth of what happened. Forgiveness, on the other hand, allows honesty and healing to exist side by side. It says, “I see what happened, and I choose to find peace anyway.” This difference matters because excusing can trap you in denial, but forgiveness sets you free. Understanding this boundary helps you protect your self-respect while still finding closure. It’s about creating balance between justice and inner peace.
