To not seek revenge is Christian.

Perhaps that is the best definition of forgiveness out there.

Giving up your right to exact revenge and expect the other person to answer to you and pay for what they did.

The problem is, there is no paying for what happens to hurt most of us. It cannot be undone. The only thing to do it forgive the person, that is release them from the debt they owe us for what they did to us.

You didn’t say anything about repentance
