Self-gratification requires forgiveness (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indulgence

This clue is a double definition.

'self-gratification' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'forgiveness' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'requires' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for indulgence that I've seen before include "leniency" , "Gratification, luxury" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
