In the process, they came at the point where they saw the importance of seeking forgiveness. Sandage, Worthington, Hight and Berry (2000) defined seeking forgiveness as motivation to accept moral obligation and tried to fix the interpersonal relationship that once broken due to the wrongdoing. Individual behavior that genuinely to seek forgiveness from someone or groups of people intentionally or unintentionally, big or small cases, short term or long term damage, needs affective and cognitive preparation (Mullet, 2007). In this research, we tried to understand what the meaning of seeking forgiveness in lay people in everyday life; this research was parallel with Viktoria and Suwartono (2010). We believed that no matter the theory in Psychology said about seeking forgiveness, we still needs lay people's point of view. The respondents were collected through accidental sampling. They were recruited in university setting. Of the 117 participant were 12% males and 88% females. In everyday life, respondents said that they have experience to do wrongdoing that they perceived as serious transgression (71.05%). The transgressions include disappointing their parents, hurting others with words they said, betraying others, ignorance to others, etc. They said the most frequent they asked their friends to give them forgiveness (62.39%). They realized that with seeking forgiveness from the victim as a result of their internal reflection (37.75%). Most of the respondents (95.62%) declared their willingness to reconcile with the victim. This maybe due the ethnic background, 42.30% were Indonesian-Chinese and 23.93% were Javanese. These two ethnic put emphasis on interpersonal harmony. With this research, we could make a recommendation to counselor, to get more alternatives from various points of view about seeking forgiveness. It takes courage to seek forgiveness from others. When people realized that seeking forgiveness not only enhanced the interpersonal relationship but also can benefit for themselves, maybe there's hope that conflict among people will be reduced.
