The concept that forgiveness is a good thing. This is a bad concept because the word "forgive" suggests holding a grudge and then forgiving someone. It's simpler and better to just never hold grudges in the first place.

Even worse: "Forgive and forget" as advice. It combines the problem with forgiveness with explicitly advising people not to update on the bad behavior of others.
