This does not seem to align with forgiveness. In the sense that it is not a point of view that will bring someone closer to acceptance and forgiveness.
I have another way, or at least, I see it as another way. It is an approach from a different angle. That way is to embrace and cultivate detachment from the human maelstrom. The way to do that is to not be attached to outcomes. It isn't easy because humanity is taught to BE involved, to be attached to the outcomes of just about everything, and in this day and Internet age, to be ramped up emotionally 24/7.
Be in the wave, not the particle.
When I say detached, I do not mean not to care. Paradoxically, as one becomes less attached to outcomes, one is more clear of the muddied waters of (transient) emotional content, and caring is more clear, more pure, and more accessible. This sort of caring is caring only and not coupled with a desired result, though it may come with sincere hope that the event, person, animal, future be well and without pain and suffering. There is something cleansing about letting go of outcomes, and is of course, related to the idea of acceptance. However, my way of seeing this has less emotional charge I think. "Not being attached to outcomes" is a specific and simple (though not easy) idea, while "acceptance" may for some carry a connotation of being a victim and giving in to something, and "forgiveness" can be a complicated affair.
This not only bypasses trying to forgive, which can be clouded by and twisted up with subconscious links to past events or wounds, which are not directly related to the current issue at hand (or even accessible to the conscious mind), but it actually engenders forgiveness, because once the emotional content isn't the biggest feature (which by its nature wants understanding, retribution, some sort of validation or result), then light may actually shine on another instead of self, and this allows for a wiser and unclouded perspective (in other words, detached, or as Ra puts it, disassociated).
