How To Forgive When They’re Not Sorry | It’s Not a Principle Unless It Costs You Something

In this episode of The Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday explores the challenge of forgiving someone who hasn’t apologized or shown remorse. He argues that true forgiveness is for your own peace, not dependent on the other person’s acknowledgment. Holiday also discusses the Stoic idea that principles are only real when they cost you something; otherwise they’re just comfortable preferences. The episode is a brief meditation on letting go of resentment and living by values even when it’s difficult.
