It is in all of us to have a retributive heart at times or a vengeful mindset when it comes to how someone treated us wrongly. But in the words of Eddie Murphy in Coming to America, as he played the role of Akeem, he said "let them wear our princely robes." When you can mentally rise above what others are doing evilly to you, you (metaphorically speaking) allow them to wear your old clothes. You just move forward, forgive, you don't have to forget, but forgive and move on with your life.
You're moving forward so you are ahead in the previous step you were at in the past. You were wearing jeans and polos; but now you're wearing suits and ties. So move forward; "we are in New York now, let us dress as New Yorkers." So let them wear your previous clothes that you do not even need any longer.
