Much is said about virtue of forgiving.People say it heals your wounds but is it possible to forgive ? Understand maybe, Excuse maybe, forget maybe buy Forgive I think is very difficult almost impossible.How can you just forgive a person who has harmed for no reason at all ? You never misbehaved with him. you never came in his way and he harms your future and you are expected to forgive him.No even if someone claims - be he a saint or mahatma- he is lying.It looks good in Films and Books but it is impossible in real life.When I had an occasion I was told to forgive a person because he was my friend. My rtesponse was if he was my friend he would not have done so.so I will forget but not forgive.(to me forgiving is continuing relationship forgetting is putting stop to it{ .

yes I think it is possible to forgive someone. But I will not forget. I believe forgiving is as much for oneself as for the one forgiven. if one cannot let go life will surely not be as good as it could be. I do not want to walk around being resentful. It is very hard to forgive but it can be done
