Are you a Forgiving Person?

yah.. forgiving makes a person happy.. i'm a forgiving person.. whatever my enemy did.. worst or bad.. i easily forgive them.. god can forgive even the worst sinners around the world so why not us..? when i forgive a person.. i feel happy and its like my heart is feeling nutritious.. :))

I could easily forgive a friend who has done me wrong but i cannot let the relationship be as it was before. However i cannot forgive a person who killed my parents and the person that destroyed my relationship with my sister. It's too difficult for me. No matter how hard i read the bible and pray, i still couldn't fine it in myself to forgive those people. I think I am just being human.

I guess forgiving could make you happy, but getting even can be a lot of fun also.

Forgiving others is a very easy thing for me. because, I never regard other people, innocent to me. I always put myself, if I become the person guilty, so I'm easy to forgive others.

I am a person that will always forgive others but surely I will never forget the they wrongdoing that they did. It hurt me so much but who am I not to forgive them right? Even Jesus forgave his enemies. Why I will never forget it? It is because I do not want they hurt me again...so as an action of being careful.

there are sayings that "dont let the sun go down to forgive the person who hurt you.

I like to think so. As a Christian, we are told there is no option: we must forgive; if we are to be forgiven by God. I tend not to stay mad with a person for long. Being consumed by rage and bitterness harms us; it's best to forgive and move on. For a very sensitive person, this is often hard, and they can "go under" through life's hurts, and even become destroyed. To them I say...pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again: get stuck into your work. I feel work is great therapy. People admire those with a lot to show for their work, and people who have achieved things in life feel better about themselves. It's never to late to do well in life. Nor for that matter to forgive!

Hi stepje, I try very hard to be a forgiving person, and I can honestly say that I don't hate anyone. I agree that forgiving people are happy people and that it's very important for both our mental and physical health, that we forgive others. We should always remember that we haven't walked in that persons shoes. Blessings.

i agree with the statement. but it is not easy to be a forgiving person. i am trying to forgive and forget every fault that people had done to me

I'm a forgiving person, because for me its better that you forgive others so that you will also be forgiven. all of us commits mistakes, we are not perfect.

I wanna share with you an email sent to me by a friend. [i]A Kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring a long plastic bag containing few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates. So the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates. So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people they hated. Some had 2 potatoes, some are 3 while some upto 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they will go (even in the toilet) for 1 week. Days after days passed by, the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week the children were relieved because the game had finally ended. The teacher asked: "How did yo feel carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?". The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and the smelly potatoes wherever they go. Then the teacher told them the meaning behind the game. The teacher said "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you will go. If you cannot tolerate the smell for rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is like to have the stench of hatred inside your heart for your life time???"[/i] Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a life time. Forgiving others is the best attitude to take especially if the one who did you wrong is asking for forgiveness.

i think in life if we dont forgive the poeple that do as wrong we might not know tommorow maybe you may also wrong some one and you may need something from that person so if we dont forgive how will you get what you want from the person

Sometimes I would not like to forgive someone for some things, but I'm too soft and can never stay mad at anyone. I think I'm a very forgiving person, even if sometimes I had no intention of forgiving at first. Like for example, just yesterday somebody in my family took my camera with no permission and erased all my pictures. That was a hard blow, not only because they did it with no permission, or because I don't even know who it was, since they didn't dare show their face and apologize, but because that camera had some important pictures I would have liked to save. I can forgive who did it, because they most likely didn't mean to, but I don't even know who it was and now I'm just sad about it. A person I would never forgive is someone who killed one of my pets or person I love. Even more so if it was on purpose, I wouldn't be able to forgive, not ever.

Hi, If something done is too hurtful then i cannot forgive that person. I do forgive people for their small mistakes or doings. But people who hurt other's feelings for their own joy should not be forgiven. If the other person ask to forgiveness genuinely then i may forgive but still the hurt feelings wud be there. I too feel that people who can easily forgive others, are happy as they are cheerful from their heart. Thanks

yes and no... depending on the situation... but most of the time i am a forgiving person... i try my best to be a forgiving person as there is no use to hold a grudge against people... it will only make us suffer and our lives more miserable... i am also a human being and i do make mistakes as well... and when this happens, i expect people to forgive me as well... so i have to be a forgiving person to be able to be forgiven by other people as well... especially by God... take care and have a nice day...

As God has forgiven those who commit sins, we were taught to forgive those people who did the wrong thing on us. Even what they did was wrong, we have no power to judge people or even to take revenge on them. Let God be the judge and He shall judge them when the time comes. I also do not like to inflict some revenge because I think it is just useless. If I did then I will also commit sin. As a devoted Christian I was taught these and to learn to forgive people. It just made me feel happy everything I forgave them.

yes, i agree with you.but sometimes ,i can not do it.

"forgiving people are happy people"...i really agree with these because if you cant forgive the people who hurt us or did something bad to us ,we cant have peace in our hearts and mind. It always linger in our mind the things that she?/he done unto you.If you will forgive then you will be happy at all times. Forgiveness is very important because we are just passers by in this world and we don't know our life ends..i believe that live life to the fullest.That's why forgiveness is so important.

I support u that Forgiving people are happy people. It both benifit others and ourself. I like forgiving people always on small things. I still get along with her or him after she or he hurts me, but I do not believe in her or him as before. Forgiving people makes me comfortable in my heart. It is also easier to cooperate with others in work and in society

I agree with that "Forgiving people are happy people".But it's hard to be forgiving for everyone.If you are too forgiving,you will be thought to be a man without Principle.The real kind people are forgiving from their heart,and give others great trust.There is no need to worry if we should forgive,just follow your heart .Just forgive as possibe as your can.After that you will see more sunshine in your life.
