I totally agree! Beautifully said!
Just because you forgive someone doesn't mean they shouldn't suffer the consequences of their actions (whatever they may be), and it doesn't mean you're okay with their actions. However, I will say it's okay if you can't forgive in certain situations. We all have our reasons why we hold on to things and can't forgive. It's no one's place to judge, but like Flexi-Girl said, it's cleansing.
