I think we should forgive those who have hurt us, as many times as possible. But we, as human being are weak. So, even if we want to forgive as much as we want to, as much as we can, we, also the sensitive being won't be able to do so unless God gives us the strength. What do you think mylotters? How many times of "pain" is considered "enough is enough"?

As human being we're not perfect and always commit mistakes that will hurt people around us especially those who cared. When the person is abusive and always commit the same mistakes, that's different. You can forgive him as much as you can as long as he is sincerely sorry at the same time he proves that he is really sorry and improve his mistakes for the better. For me, I can't say pain is enough unless I'll think a way to lessen the pain through giving a lesson to that person until he realizes that he was wrong. You're right, you can forgive as much as you want but always remember, you can forgive but you can't forget and only time can tell to heal the pain.

God always forgives and we should also be forgiving no matter how painful how it takes.Some people forgives but never forgets and sometimes it takes time to forgive people who have done wrong to us.We are just human and it is no excuse but if you can't forgive easily then we just wait for the time when we are ready.Well,when you are having a hard time to forgive then you just ignore or avoid those people and then maybe time can heal all the pain you have encountered.

a person who is sorry should forgiven once but if they do it again i don't know whether i can trust them if they apologize because when you are sorry you never do it again
