Easy for you to say. You weren’t the one publicly dragged through the mud by your own sibling, humiliated, and forced to watch your reputation shredded by lie after lie. And you certainly weren’t the one who had to witness your spouse being targeted with vile accusations and facing death threats fueled by the very lies your sibling shamelessly fed to the world.
And yet somehow, you still expect the next King to simply rise above it all and hand out forgiveness like it costs nothing. No. If reconciliation is truly what’s wanted, it starts with accountability. That means a real apology from the one who lit the match in the first place. And since the character assassination was done publicly, the apology should be just as loud, just as public, and just as uncomfortable.
Until that happens, spare us the sanctimonious lectures about how "forgiveness feels better than grudge bearing." Do everyone a favor and keep your self-righteous opinions to yourself.
I know that forgiveness feels better than grudge bearing. Is better in the long run. That’s all I know
