Will you forgive people who hurt you?

Yes,I support your viewpoint.I ever had conflict with one of my classmates in senior middle school.We even never speak to each other for nearly one year.But one day,I made compromise with him and talk with him.He is one of my best friends.I believe you will get much more things if you forget the unhappy things with people.

Honestly!!It is Difficult To Forgive That Easily. But Sometimes We Have To Do Forgive Them. But For Me I Do Forgive Them . But Never Forget .

It is best to forgive and forget and move on. Initially, I had thought of this as a recourse of the weak, for I am myself weak in tackling people who walk over me. By nature, I have always been like this…either I have cried home or I have sought help or I have bad-mouthed those people to others, all the while envying their power to defend themselves. Defence…yes, I was always failing in it where I was concerned…I was a favourite pick of the bully. Gradually, I taught myself to ignore and then forgive (and think of myself as so magnanimous, you know). But now in middle age, I truly believe in the powers of forgive and forget. For one, it instantly calms the mind, secondly, the heart does not have to carry a heavy burden of unfulfilled retribution, thirdly…useful energy and invaluable time is not wasted in plotting and executing something which has lost its importance many seasons ago. While saying this, I must mention that God has been immensely kind to me in the fact that I have never been tested really…I do not really know what my reactions would be if someone dear to me was murdered or wronged severely.

i choose not to forgive them. i also choose not to forget

my sister,husband and friends have hurt me in the past.i do forgive but i dont forget to easily.i know i dont allow people to hurt me continunously.i hold a grudge until they apologize.

Hi ajithlal I agree with you that you should fogive people as mistake is common in everyone but not forget. When you forget something there are high chances for you to get hurt again. I would say forgive the person sincerely but do not forget the situation. So it goes like this forgive NOT forget Regards Thanusha

I agree. Our lives are much too precious to spend our time worrying about what we think others do wrong. We each live by a set of rules... our own rules... and they differ from person to person. If this person is a real friend, you forgive and forget, but if they're not a true friend, you move on and forget about the incident. Brightest Blessings.

You can forgive, but you may not be able to forget. And if you forget, it means what they did to hurt you really did not matter. I believe that the person who did you wrong has to ask for forgiveness and in many cases they do not, so you are left up in the air. So what you have to do is to wait until they admit their wrong and then you can explain what it did to you. Then you can forgive them, because then you know that they did not realize the extent of the harm.

'To err is human , to forgive is divine' this has been my outlook towards friends, close relatives and neighbors.

Hello ajithlal. It depends on how seriously I get hurt. If something that is hard to forgive, I will need to have some time before I finally forgive him. But anyway, still I think that it is better to forgive than not because I only want to make friends, not enemies in my life. Life goes on more smoothly with more friends around. So my final solution is to forgive eventually though sometimes it takes time to heal the wound hurt.

Yes my friend, the only way to have a happy life is when you have a forgiving spirit within you. You see all around us are people with different views and opinions and with that we cannot please all of them. If people sinned against us it is just the best way to forgive them as our heavenly father forgives us. We only need to think that the persons who are trying our goodness are just our specimen in shaping our good values in order for us to become a better person.

yes, if you always remeber the unpleasantness, you will always feel unpleasure, and it maybe make you sick. so, please forgive and forget who hurt you, maybe it will take you some out of bule things. enjoy life!

I do not forgive people easily but yes I do it gradually. But somehow I cannot forget what they have done to me. I do make myself prepared for the next time they or somebody else hurts me in similar way. If I do have to face something similar again, I am prepared for it and will not feel hurt at all.

Yes, I think that we should forgive people that hurt us or have done wrong to us. I eventually forgive people that have done wrong to me. And I've had that done a lot to me and I forgive them eventually but sometimes it will take me awhile. But then I always remember that God forgave me for all the things that I have done wrong and I feel if God can forgive me then I should be able to forgive others no matter how bad the wrong is that they have done to me. Not everyone feels that way though I am sure. But I think too that you cannot truely be happy if you cannot forgive and forget the things that people have done to you.

I think it is good to forgive and forget bad things, but it is so hard to manage it. Have a nice day.

I do.. my ex husband abused me for years. We have been dicorced 2 years now. He has changed and I have forgiven him. I wont go back to him. BUt hes forgiven.

I think so too. It is always best to forgive. It frees our soul from the burden of bitterness and any plans for vengeance which would only serve to hurt us more. That is a good prayer :)
