We can and should forgive for our own healing, particularly with family. But with what others, and in particular, the government and its proxies have done to us requires repentance, which means change, on their parts and recompense, else forgiveness is not possible.

Jesus forgave, even though the Jews and Romans in Jerusalem then, for the most part, did not repent or admit wrongdoing in crucifying him. But, over time, people began to understand more as they learned more about who Jesus was and is. All of us began to slowly learn from how ge lived his life. We learn at our own speed, though, and it never means the sinner shouldn't be punished. We can still want deserved punishment for the sinner for what he did. Wanting there to be punishment can completely exist with forgiveness. We let go of it, at the time it is right for us to do, but we can still want just punishment and consequences. That's okay. God bless.
