They say that there are two types of actions; aggression and love. While I agree that revenge (aggression) is an exertion of power for those that see vantage in it, forgiveness (love) is equally as powerful — just a different kind of power creating a different path of causality.

I would disagree. Forgiveness is the strategy of those whose aims do not include the instant soothing of one's ego and who can use reputation as a diplomatic weapon. AFAIK Cyrus, Julius Caesar and Napoleon were not mediocre nor did they forsake power, but all employed forgiveness
