Do you forgive and Forget?

I agree with f4ithful...if it's something serious, you can never forget. Forgiving is the easy part, letting go and getting past the emotional aspect of betrayal or hurt that was caused to you is not. You can move on yes, but there will always be things that remind you of what a person did that made you have to forgive them in the first place. And when you get mad or argue, it does tend to get brought back up. So forgive, yes, that's simple. But to forget completely? Unless you come down with severe amnesia, I don't think it can truly be done.

You cant forget. Unless you bang your head and becomes amnesia. But you can forgive. Once we remember the situation, not makes us resent, but take a lesson to learn. Back to myself, i think i am not perfect either, it takes 2 to tango.

No. Forgiving someone is easy compared to forgetting what they did. I can forgive anyone even on worst cases but I never forget. It doesn't mean that I hold a grudge, just don't want to forget what that person is capable of doing. Since history will most likely repeat itself, then knowing what was done to me on that certain event will greatly help in what I would do in case it happens again.

Yes, but of course depending on how big and serious the issue was, it will take some time to forget. I am not one known to hold a grudge so I would say time is my ally as to how long I would eventually forget.

Hi, It's very true that we should forgive the mistakes of others and forgive. Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. We have some misunderstandings and they can be removed with sharing our thoughts with each other. We can forgive the past mistakes of others and have a good relations again. But sometimes we can not forgive others because they have behaved very badly with us. I have some bad experience and I don't want to forgive that person.

You are right lit, you have to forgive and then forget the offense of the offender. True forgiveness is forgetting what your friend, your sister or your loved ones had done to you. Yes, human as we are we it's really hard for us to forget but we have to chose to forget. We can't forget but if we chose to forget then I believe we can forget the painful thing that our loved ones did to us. To forget means not bringing back the issues over and over again.

I never forget,. I want things over & done w/when i get hurt, don't want all that yada,yada that some people want to do.

It depends if you can really can trust that person that he can change then you can just forgive and forget. But its already hard to trust someone if they have already done something wrong.

I think there are two types of forgiveness, the human forgiveness and the divine forgiveness. Human forgiveness is the type that we humans extends towards others while the divine forgiveness is God's forgiving human beings. With the two, there's is a difference, God's forgiveness is conditional while ours is neither conditional on being asked for it nor on seeing the fruits of repentance. but as Christians, the Bible teaches us and are obligated to to forgive those you sinned against us when they are repentant. this is one of the most difficult obligation for us as it is very easy to forgive but is hard to forget especially if there is no indication of repentance.

In our life, forgive and forget need to be done.That was relationships effect.Everyone has different characters and style.So sometimes we can't accept any conditions or conversations from the others.And maybe sometimes our talk and habit can't accept by the others.So we have to forgive and forget about someone mistake or error.Believe me that if you're always forgive and forget about someone mistake you will have a lot of friends and God will loves you.

To forgive is easier than to forget. I have forgiven a lot of people in my past, but forgetting those who have hurt me the most ris too difficult.

You are right we not pay attention on back but leave it all mistake of our family members or friends and live happy life.

Hello friend,Forgive and forget are two good virtues, we as human being always should possess.We should forgive a person for his mistake or his misdeed,but it is not always possible for everybody to forget those agony,suffering and displeasure caused by such persons as some of them are indelible and they come to our memory from time to time if we are hurt a lot.But,if we will not forget those things then we will not feel happy and peace,even though we have already forgiven that person.So we should try to forgive and forget always even though it is a bit difficult for a long lasting peacefulness in our life.Thanks & regards.....

Forgive and forget are two different things. When we forgive someone we are willing to accept the mistake but to forget is hard. No matter how hard we try to forget the memory will still remain we just have to move on and look to what the future holds and not the past mistakes.

I can easily forgive but it is really hard to forget. One of my friends told me that I am a farmer because of that attitude. She told me that once I have forgiven someone, I should also forget about the wrongdoings he or she maid. But on my part, I think that it is already enough that I have forgiven since I no longer make the past incident an issue. I still give second chances but I totally learned from previous experiences. I will be more careful. I don't think that it is my fault to act that way since the person made me lose my trust in her or him. I am just protecting myself from being hurt again. That is why honesty is very important. Once you have broken the trust a person was given to you, it would be very hard to fix it.
