What makes forgiveness special is that we forgive when we got hurt and it is mandatory that we have to forgive. The thing is when we forgive our friends or family, we stand a chance to win forgiveness from God our creator, how does it make you feel knowing that God will forgive us when we forgive our spouse, friends our neighbors and others?. We are benefited when we forgive and let it go but sometimes it's difficult when the feeling of hurt is high on us, at this time love drives us to forgive, you see love and forgiveness work together. I enjoy reading your post and I wish you best of luck. SR.
