Forgiveness? Or Capitulation? What is one asking of me?

I got this, not in my feed, but when looking up CMI, whom I regularly watch. I reacted actually before watching the video.

Is Forgiving Without an Apology Possible?

You have given the title about forgiving without (I suppose you mean explicit) apology.

Would you feel the same about forgiving without the agression ceasing?

I don't mean cessation of having done a bad thing to me 20 or more years ago. You may not cease having done it, but your having done it can cease to be relevant. I mean cessation of continuing to do a bad thing to me now. Or two bad things. Or three bad things. Or four bad things ....

I don't think the issues are quite the same.

One of the bad things being exposing me, not indeed to open psychiatric examination and captivity, but to underhanded observations in the street growing more and more intrusive. I write somewhere between Stephen King and Neil Gaiman together in daily word count and down to two Neil Gaiman / 1.5 Stephen King. But because I'm in the street, this productivity can be written off as a symptom and as a dissipation. I had 12 060 blog posts just on the present blogger account, not counting unblogged answers on quora, back in Maundy Thursday.
