is forgiveness that hard

it depends on the offense and the person what is small offense to others is big to another some people can accept apology easily, some can't this is why it's best to always be aware of what we say and do because more than anything, what we send out always goes back to us

There are people who can't forget and forgive immediately. They need to slow down, it depends on the situation. Others forgive easily but the pain inside still burning.

I think that a lot of people say that they have forgiven people for something, but then it will just keep eating away at them for a long time during the course of their lives, and it will literally come back to haunt them at times when they least expect them to. It is very important that you get things straight in your own mind before you decide to tell somebody that you have forgiven them for something that they'd done. This is because it's easy to say the words, but it isn't as easy, in practice, to move on from these things; as a lot of people have found out.

When a person is lack of Godly love inside him, it will be extremely difficult for him to forget and forgive, without accepting the love of God, men will want nothing to do with forgiven and compassion. The urge for revenge and violent will overtake the mind and heart of a Godless person, there will be no place for the spirit of forgiven demanded by God to grow inside him. Period!

For me it's not hard to forgive, forgetting the hurt is what is difficult. One may already have forgiven a friend, but the friendship may not become as close as before. It is because if one wounded your feelings, it takes time to heal.

For this question I will want only to answer for myself and not how I think people should think. I have trouble forgiving when I find that the other person has forgotten how to talk. Sometimes they can be very outspoken and say many things easily but can not find one simple word that would mean so much. It has disappeared out of their vocabulary. Do you know the word?
