Hi,

can you please explain the meaning of this sentence?

[Lost_Soul]

It means that once they forgive somebody, they should not also attempt (or think of attempting) to get revenge upon that person.

Many people say that they forgive you, but deep down in their mind they're still thinking of a sweet revenge.
