How does this dynamic of grace vs forgiveness interact with genuine feelings of guilt? There are times in life where we (or people around us) fuck up. Genuine remorse occurs and receiving forgiveness can bring closure as it can signal that a relationship with someone is still there. I think assuming forgiveness is a one-way interaction may be true in some contexts, but not all.
