Forgiveness

Do you think true forgiveness even exists?
I mean, can you honestly ever forgive someone that hurt you, to the point that you trust them enough to allow them to be in the position to hurt you again? Or do we just “forgive”, without ever letting them back into a position where they could hurt us again? Is that even true forgiveness?
I don’t think it is.
So I don’t know that I think anyone ever truly forgives, it’s human nature to protect ourselves. Even if we want to forgive them, how can we let ourselves be vulnerable to them?
