Question about A Course in Miracles

Should I forgive someone who hurt me?

Yes. Forgiveness releases you from judgment and the belief that another’s actions have altered the truth of who you are. It does not mean denying what happened or calling harm harmless; it means letting the Holy Spirit help you see beyond accusation and fear. Ch.27 — The Fear of Healing

The Course’s forgiveness is a change in perception that brings peace, rather than a judgment that the other person deserves or does not deserve forgiveness. Ch.29 — The Dream of Forgiveness
