·       observe… if forgiveness feels like separation (“i… forgive you.”), or if it feels like a release of negativity (“we are For-Given”).
 

that… for actors… is the litmus test of forgiving.

 
a violent act, in a play (for example), is rehearsed, practiced, repeated, and (eventually) acted-out on-stage. backstage (after the performance) it is critiqued, re-written, and even laughed-about.  

when the play isn't real, forgiveness is a mute point.
