So, let's say someone kills a close friend. Does moving on require forgiving them for that crime?
Of course not. You can choose to let go of anger and have a good life, celebrating your friend. But that doesn't require you to say "it's okay" to the individual who did it and "forgive them". You can be relieved that the person will rot in jail til the end of their days. And you can forget them.
Maybe Marshall Rosenburg needs to forgive to move on, but luckily we're all different and I'm perfectly content with my friend's killer living with the consequences of his crime. I'm not angry - I honestly haven't even thought of him for well over a year. I'm perfectly content not thinking about his circumstances but thinking about my beautiful friend and carrying on his legacy.
