It does depend on the situation but I would always go for forgiving when I could,even several times, especially if I was as sure as I could be that the offending person was in my view genuinely sorry.

I think forgiveness becomes more nearer foolishness if you just roll over and forgive even with no apology at the very least from the offender.
Even moreso if you do that repeatedly.

Obviously there are also instances where forgiveness would not be an option for me such as to someone wilfully murdering other human beings and also as to child abuse.
