It's hard to do. Forgiveness is not an easy work specially when you're hurt too much. Can you say sorry immidately to the one who hurts you? For me I can't do that right after your war, but maybe after few days I can forgive and ask sorry even if I am not the one who made the mistake. How about you?

Everyone made mistakes before. Even you right? Just forgive and forget! Do you want him/her to feel guilty forever in his/her entire life? It will affect his/her life even more if you don't forgive him/her or something terrible will happen. I know most of them just apologize and do it all over again.They never learn from their mistakes.Don't forgive those jerks!

For me, we must forgive even if they are an idiot or whatever as long as they ask forgiveness.

Yes, you are right. Sometimes if we use scale and weigh the happy moments versus the bad ones maybe there's difference. What if the bad ones the heaviest? its your choice... but the very important here is to forgive.

I won't say "sorry" if I am the one that is wronged
the other person has to be mature enough to ask forgiveness
just as I have to be mature enough to ask forgiveness if I wrong someone
sometimes if I like someone so much, or when I am deeply in love
I will do anything to keep the friendship or relationship going
because I used to believe love is unconditional
but now I don't do that anymore
if the other person doesn't reciprocate, then there is no friendship or relationship
because it is true love is unconditional
which means I also have to love myself unconditionally
If I let other people take advantage of my kindness, that's not doing myself any good :)

Yes I do initiate the actions but lately I have been thinking people take advantage when you do that.

Sometimes I need to forgive to lighten my feelings. I get sick when there is heaviness inside because of hurt and grudge. It's easy to say nice things about forginess but sometimes when you are in a situation, you really find hard to forgive someone. You can only do it when you pray to God and ask forginess. If God can forgive you then why can't you forgive your fellow.

yes you are very right. God can forgive so why can't we? That's true that if we are in the situation, it's really hard to forgvie specially if you still hurt. But prayer is the best way to make it easy. Thanks for the nice response

I was treated badly once during my highschool. Well before we graduated, we had an open forum for our class. The guy said sorry to me. I cried that time when he said that. I was even infront of the class because I'm one of the forerunners of the open forum activity. Everytime I think about what I did that time now, it pisses me off and I would feel embarassed and thinks "Arggg! Why did I do that!?!" Well, we sometimes would see each other and act like acquantances. I did forgive him but I never really forget about it.

Maybe it's true that the pain wound was healed but the scars is still there. We can forgive but we can't forget I agree. Thanks for the response

It really takes time. Time heals as what others say. Let the time pass by then have your reconciliation. Many things are easier said than done. But look at the little kids, they fight and cry and boxing, and after that, they are friends again as if nothing happens. That is why Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven are for little children because they don't hold grudges.
