Huh?
What do you mean which is more important?
I don't see self-preservation and forgiveness in one spectrum or a condition in which I have to choose one or another, therefore I cannot answer this weird question.
If such situation arise one day, which is very unlikely as it's self-preservation has no connection with forgiveness in any way, of course I will choose self-preservation. Forgiveness is an abstract concept and one can say a hundred times "I forgive you" but still sub or unconsciously hold grudges. Self-preservation is an actual instinct of all living being and benefits not only the individual but for people around him who need him and love him.
I will post my entry on love at first sight later... it's such a complicated matter for me.
