I had an old friend come to me years later and tell me that he was sorry for stealing some music equipment from me in high school. It was worth a few hundred dollars and I barely remember missing it. I thought the guy was kind of an idiot to come back and apologize after so much time had passed. It was not a ton of money nor was any major crime (assualt, felony) committed.

I think we include the reparations portion of forgivness into too many small incidents in life. Sometimes it is just better for all involved to just move on>

I hope I am not encouraging you to dissobey a commandment, but maybe you should just move on.
