Magnanimous
I like this word; it sounds good for one thing. Dictionary.com has it as: 'generous in forgiving an insult or injury; free from petty resentfulness or vindictiveness'. It derives from the Latin 'magnus' meaning great and 'anim(us)' meaning soul or spirited. Generous or big hearted might be another way of saying it.
If they every produce a training course on 'How to be a human being' then I would propose magnanimity as an essential module. Let me assure you, you would not believe the litigation that has arisen for want of a little magnanimity. The cost! The time!
Pettiness should attract criminal sanctions.
