Forgiveness Explained: Why Genuine Self Forgiveness is Harder Than You Think | Ep. 36

What does it really mean to forgive? In this video, I break down the philosophy and psychology behind forgiveness, drawing on the work of Charles L. Griswold and the latest insights in moral philosophy. Discover why genuine forgiveness isn’t just about saying “I forgive you”—it requires deep repentance from the wrongdoer, a careful balance between sympathy and detachment, and a recognition of our shared, imperfect humanity. This video is the first installment in our Self Forgiveness series. We’ll explore: Why forgiveness was once seen as a weakness, and how it became a virtue The essential role of remorse and self-transformation in real forgiveness The dangers of pseudo-forgiveness—like excusing, condoning, or forgetting How to avoid losing yourself in the process of forgiving The moral risks of over-identifying with those who have wronged us What makes an act truly forgivable—and when forgiveness might not be possible The controversial ideas of third-party forgiveness and self-forgiveness If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, or wondered how forgiveness fits into justice, healing, and personal growth, this episode is for you. Join me as we unravel the complexities of forgiveness and discover its transformative power.
