In essence,we forgive others for a failure event when __________.

A) our retaliation attempts fail
B) it is culturally correct to do so
C) it is in our own best interest to do so
D) we are physically separated

We forgive others for a failure event when it is in our own best interest to do so. This can include reducing our own negative emotions such as anger, resentment, and bitterness, improving our relationships with others, and promoting our own emotional and spiritual growth. While retaliation attempts failing or cultural norms may influence forgiveness, they are not the primary reasons why we forgive others. Physical separation may also make forgiveness easier, but it is not a necessary condition for forgiveness to occur.
