Judaism connects the practice of forgiveness to the religious concept of teshuvah that means repentance.

A seeker of forgiveness must recognize their faults before making any necessary reparations according to this principle. This religious approach establishes that we need to take full responsibility when we engage in different activities.

Well, I cannot speak for other but only the one I follow. Hinduism also views forgiveness as essential for spiritual growth. It’s seen as a virtue that breaks cycles of negative karma, leading to liberation (moksha). Many Hindu texts emphasize patience and non-retaliation.
