Are you the kind of person easy to forgive? If a person makes you mad or angry, do you forgive her/him that easy? Maybe, it depends on her/his sin.. I'm not that easy to forgive, it really takes time, but we need to forgive to have peace of mind and need to move on.. want to hear from you friends.. thanks..

Depends on the person and what they might have done to get me upset. I ended up moving on adn forgetting about them and what they did.

Hello cherriemae! I am the kind of person that is easy to forgive but hard to forget. When I forgive the person, there's no really hard feelings but still, the fact that the person hurt us would still remain to us although we don't mind about it. Do you know what I am saying?

Ya I can say that. I think I am A very forgiving person, cause most of the time one cannot do much, and we also need to understand the nature of the person we are dealing with and always try t give them another chance. I really like to forgive someone who understands what their mistake is and are sorry for it. If they do not think that what they did was any mistake, then what forgiveness are we talking about. Forgiveness is better than life long hatered and anger, but then the one at fault must understand that they are at fault. Take Care May GOD Bless YOU

it depends on what they have done to me. and if it's a small deal, i'm easy to forgive and if that is they apologize to me. but then if he/she had done something so wrong that really really pisses me off, it takes time for me to forgive them. anyways, i hate it if they make as if nothing had happen. i'm easy to forgive but not THAT easy. i'd appreciate if they come and apologize.

Cherriemae - It depends what your forgiving about the person but I usually forgive people not all the time but I dont forget what he/she does or says to me. You sound very religious but yes you can stay forever mad but there are certain cases that people do and hard to forgive them. Um...the worst thing to do its go to sleep mad for an arguement you had with your boyfriend/girlfriend; fiance, husband/wife its not a good thing to do for certain matters.

If a person made me feel mad or angry, then I would find it very difficult to forgive them. Then of course it would also depend on who the person was who made me feel like this. If it was a close member of my family, although they would be very unlikely to do this to me, then I would probably be cross for a while but I would definitely forgive them. If it was an outsider, then I would most likely never forgive them. I am the type of person who says "Forgive and forget but first get even". Sorry, but that's the way I am but I admire people who can forgive and forget.

I do get over things pretty easy..I get angry and spout off and then i am over it...I do forgive easily, sometimes to easy so i have been told....I have had people do things to me and others would say" I would never spesk to them again" but i do, i just go on and let it go.....I use to be different but these days i seem to not really care that much to hold a grudge...

I think forgiveness is extremely important for our own peace of mind. If ever I feel angry at somebody for something, I need to focus on that person and resolve it. If I do not forgive, then I will experience stress at a conscious or maybe subconscious level where it can cause harm. I feel quite strongly about that I have written an article about it on my website for anyone who is interested. - http://tinyurl.com/dzw7pp - :-) Derek

Hi there. well, based on my friends and family, I can easily forgive someone who is really sincere when saying sorry or when trying to work things out. The reason behind that is because I don't like having grudges with someone especially if she/he is really close to me. however, I am not a saint... lolz.. there are still some people whom I forgive but the relationship will never be the same again. Like for example, my ex boyfriend in college who cheated on me. I forgive him when he sincerely asked for it but when h e wants to get back with me, I didn't allow him to be back in mhy life because I know that I will just hurt and foool myself again. Not even friendship because for me friends are meant to be trusted. And I dont' trust him anymore though in my heart, I already forgive him. Sometimes, I see him and I just smile at him or nod casually. Thank you for the discussions and Have a great day! Cheers!

It depends what happened to me. There are somethings that are easy for me to forgive. Others, that aren't as easy, that I wouldn't and haven't been able to forgive easily. It's just like several other people. It's just the way I am. It depends on what we're talking about.

I am a forgiving person. Sometimes I think I am a fool but I feel that is something my father taught me when I was young. To forgive someone is also to help yourself I feel. TO carry a burden of holding a grudge on someone is not my style. I like to forgive and it does make me feel better too. I know some people have trouble with this but I think to forgive is good and should been done more often. Everyone makes mistakes and deserves chances. Great post and happy mylotting to you.

Never really thought of that a lot, Am I a forgiving person. I think I am a little bit. When you hurt me, I can forgive. What ever excuse you give me for it, I will buy. Do it twice and you're out! I guess I'm the kind of person to give seconds chances, but not third. Maybe I'll get easier with that when I'm getting older. I don't know.

I think it depends on what was done really...I mean minor things I have no problem forgiving since its just petty ya know but the big stuff nto so much...particularly if the person has no remorse for what it is they've done...for example I'll NEVER forgive my adoptive parents for the abuse they put me through as a child and in the case of my mom right through to this day...They dont deserve it BUT i also dont hang on to any ill feelings or negative energy either..for me, its not necessary to forgive in order to move on ya know....

I don't wanna get mad to anyone, if ever I get mad I don't wanna yell, I rather talk to the person after few hours and tell him straight what's the problem. I don't want problems or an issue to get bigger. Well I easily forgive! But it also depends I can just shut up and wont talk to you ever again if you really made me stupid, and stab me at my back, with out reasons at all. I can forgive but it will make the world different for both of us. Have a nice day to you!

I do forgive very easily. In most of the cases, next day i dont even remember that i am angry with this person. So it naturally helps me to forgive. Plus sometimes things happened can never be undone so what is use of being angry with someone.

I use to be the type of person to forgive and forget very fast. I am not that way any more. I do not lash out I do not go out of my way to seek revenge. I just do not have anything to do that person if I can help it. It also depends upon what the person did. I was hurt by my coworker at the place I use to work at. I have forgiven them I just chose not to call them or be there friend anymore.

I usually easy to forgive. If the problem makes me very angry, at least for 3 days I do not speak with her/his. In addition to not doing things outside the control.
