I have endured my own personal struggles when I try to forgive people who had done me wrong in the past. This alone has caused me to come to the realization that forgiveness is not always an easy thing to do.
Once a person has finally allowed themselves to forgive someone, then the next step would be to let your mind forget about it, and then your soul will be set free.
With that said ... I do know that there are some crimes against people, which involve Rape, Murder, or Paedophile, that would be a lot harder to forgive the perpetrator for.
How can someone forgive a person for one of those crimes? The answer for the victim or the victims friends and family, would be for them to take a moment to look inside of themselves and then think about what kind of twisted soul lurks inside of those type of people, which of course, tortures those people everyday of their lives, whether you think so or not.
Forgiveness of a tortured soul must come from the tortured souls themselves. They will never be able to do this because they can never be forgiven by the person whom they have taken their life or innocence from.
With no forgiveness coming their way any time soon they will then continue to be a tortured soul, which will keep them from cleansing their tortured soul from the evil that dwells within it.
The valuable lesson that you should come away with from this sermon is that it is best not to hold a grudge, which could cause you to harm someone, which would then cause your soul to become tortured until you meet your maker only to be judged for the harm you have caused others, while you were living.
