Do you forgive and forget?

Hello,Lee! Yes,I forgive and forget every time I encounter with untoward incident.If I will not forget it will always hunt my mind and put me in tensions.Just to get rid of this situation I forgive and forget the issue.Thanx.

i can forgive but never forget. cause if you forget you will never learn. you have to learn from your mistakes. so dont forget.

I totally agree with you! I am also the type of person who forgives easily especially when the person asking for forgiveness is sincere. But i could not possibly forget what have caused me so much pain. Even the minute detail of the exact event lingers for as long I live. I do not understand this myself. They said that when you have totally forgiven, you should have forgotten everything that's happened. But this is not true to me. I know in my heart that I have totally forgiven the person who did me wrong. It's just that I don't forget. Maybe it's true for some people but I guess not to us. As they say, in every rule there's an exception and we're definitely an exception to this rule. lol.

i give as many chances as you wish... but then i am a bit cynical and usually approach things skeptically second chance or not. it's easier for me to forgive but you can't just forget. you learn from your trials and from pain, to forget would mean to take that all for granted and not grow up in the process of it. i think the common thing is, people don't want to forget they were wronged. we need to get past that to forgive. once we stop focusing on whose fault it was and who caused the pain, forgiveness is real even if you still remember what happened.

It ultimately comes down to how serious he has offended or hurt you... though I believe everyone is capable of forgiving a person. Well maybe you wouldn't forget, but you should forgive. Not forgetting doesn't mean you won't forgive the bad deeds they have done to you, but what happened, so as to prevent or at least, avoid the repeat of history.

yes..it easy to forgive but to forget can take time..
