Abstract


Secara tradisional memaafkan telah dihidupi oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Akhir-akhir ini disadari bahwa memaafkan merupakan sarana terapi yang ampuh
untuk menyembuhkan luka-luka batin akibat kekerasan dan perlakuan buruk di
masa lampau. Memaafkan merupakan jalan ke arah rekonsiliasi dan perdamaian.
Maka terapi dan studi memaafkan berkembang pesat di seluruh penjuru dunia.
Namun, sesungguhnya memaafkan bukan sekedar sarana terapi melainkan
ungkapan kemurahan hati dari si pemberi maaf, bukan demi kepentingan si
pemberi maaf itu. Memaafkan merupakan kekuatan yang menyembuhkan dan
menghidupkan. Memaafkan juga berhubungan dengan keadilan dan rekonsiliasi.
Dengan demikian, pengertian dan makna memaafkan sangat kompleks
