Do you find it difficult to forgive others?

I do agree wholeheartedly with what you said. Jesus has preached that we should forgive each other. As a Christian I know that I have to forgive those who have hurt me but its very difficult to put into practise. It is normal to feel a grudge against those who have wronged you. But I have experienced that when you forgive others you are healing yourself. You let go the past, the feelings of anger and thus you can heal from such bad experiences. I had a close friend who harmed my reputation by spreading false rumours. The truth eventually emerged but it took a lot of time. I felt a lot better when I forgave him and let things go

It depends on what happened that requires forgiveness meaning it depends on how bad the incident or situation is. I consider myself a loving caring and a realistically forgiving person but some things just cant be forgiven so easily thats why I it just depends. With that said I would say that it's easier for me to forgive then forget because we dont learn by forgetting, and if we forget we will just fallow the same patterns and allow ourselves to be wronged agin so I can forgive but I dont forget, but also I dont dwell on bad things and I dont hold big grudges to the point that cant move on, I mean that when bad situations happen or if someone wrongs me I deal with it and move on, but like I said I dont completely forget.

I do not find it hard normally But there are 2 incidents and People that I can never forgive for what they did to me It is something that could have destroyed me but I did not let it, I was 5 years old and then 14 years old it has scared me for Life yes and I will never forgive these 2 People for nearly destroying me, one Person took my Childhood away and left me living in fear, But yes I can forgive sometimes straight away, sometimes it takes a little while

I generally agree and usually can forgive without much difficulity. But, sometimes it depends on what has happened. I usually forgive everyone, but it depends on how it takes to calm down from what ever upset me.

very well said. anger comes in two stages: you release the anger and second, you accept anger and hopefully comes to the path of forgiveness. so dont get sad if you cant just forgive yet. we are human, thats normal.

i forgive very easy, for me its harder not to forgive :( especially my girlfriend.. damn when she look at me with those eyes i cant say NO to her..

I don't find it hard to forgive, i actually even find it harder not to. even if i want to just forget what people say about me, to forget what they have done to me, and to forget what they have caused me... i think it is still hard for me to to just stay angry, or to stay not forgiving people who have sincerely said they are sorry. I am the kind of person who forgives easily, over time too (depends on the gravity) but well, i think it is just me that i forgive but i always remember what people did to me and i tend to become cautious already. It may be normal for people to be like this. i am only human, i get angry... i forgive but most of the time i do not forget.

As a Christian, I feel it's imperative to forgive, as we are forgiven by God. In my daily dealings, I like to keep my mind free of angry or resentful thoughts. If we don't do this I find, it shows in our faces, and we develop a sour expression which puts others off, even when we might want to be liked. Many of us struggle with anger. The important thing is though...to keep struggling; not to give in to it. If the struggle is hard, we can always ask God for some extra help.

I think that everybody has a hard time forgiving people who continue to follow the wrong path by hurting others without plans to end the suffering. Is really hard to forgive those who harm women and children all over the World. Is easier to forgive those people who ask for forgiveness ,but not those who continue engaging in violence and terror. On the other hand, we need to forgive because is healthier for us to live in love and harmony. Good can defeat Evil ,and I know for a fact that anything bad that we do in this World, we end up paying sooner or later.

forgiving a person is one of the most difficult things to do in our lives.many a times its our ego that stops us from forgiving.sometimes we may hate a person so badly that there is no way we can forgive that person.but I've noticed one thing that when you forgive a person you in a way help yourself and do good to yourself.it also feels very good to forgive others.according to me we should forgive others because by doing so we have nothing to lose.in contrary we may gain more respect by forgiving others.

hiii Pose123 well yes and no both.It depends upon who they are and what they have done to me.If they are my loved one and they have done something wrong out of innocence then i forgive them quickly. If he she has done is purposely,out of jealousy to hurt me then i off course dont forgive them and i keep eye on such a individuals to make sure they wont hurt me again.I have meet so many such a individuals especially in college and at work place.

I don't forgive that easily but it depends on what they did. If it was too severe then i'll find it hard to forgive. If it's nothing to me then i'll more or less forgive them in a heartbeat.

I totally agree with you. really set you free. Most of time its really hard to forgive and I seek God help to help ease it pain so I will forgive more easily.

I sometimes feel difficult to forgive others. But then again, I forgive them since there's no point being angry and not accepting their apology.

To me forgiveness comes easy yet it is one of the most beautiful qualities someone may have along with mercy if it doesn't pay in the short run it will in the long run.
