Forgiveness

How often do you forgive someone when they have done you wrong?
If you are the one who committed a mistake towards another person, do you mean it when you are saying sorry?
Giving forgiveness is worthy to those who are asking for it and whom who meant the word 'sorry'. There are some would say also that even when not asked people should forgive those who sinned them.
They say that we can forgive but we cannot forget that easily. For those memories of pains and troubles someone gave us will leave a scar on our hearts that we carry along with us forever.

Yes, you should always forgive. Carrying anger against someone else is a useless waste of time and what is more, energy. Forgiving does not mean that you should forget, only that you accept what has happened and have decided to let the pain heal. In fact you should remember so that if the situation comes again you will know how to deal with it. Your question about someone saying they are sorry. These are only words without actions that show they are meant. You must decide based on the actions of the person to tell you the depth of their regret. From there you must decide to accept their words and actions and move on with life, or whether you should consider other options.

It depends on who they are and what they've done. I will (almost) always forgive my partner if he does wrong. Sometimes, he hasn't realised that what he's done was wrong. He usually does what he truly feels is the right thing at the time.
I don't know about other people, though. I'll forgive people for genuine mistakes. I've never been in a position where I would specifically say I don't forgive someone. I just give up on people who do things wrong enough not to forgive.

@ginamel Yes, if the same mistake is repeated too often - or if it is particularly bad - then we might be less willing to forgive. Luckily for me, the kind of mistakes my partner makes mostly involve him forgetting things.

@pumpkinjam we always forgive those who are dear to us. But there are mistakes once repeated more than twice will not be that easy to forgive. However, love really could break that and we always end up forgiving them even when they do not really deserve it.

@pumpkinjam your partner must be really loyal to you and whenever he commits mistakes it is surely because he was born a human.

It takes time for me to forgive. I need time and space. Even I start to smile or chat again with the person who pained me, that doesn't mean that I am completely okay. I just want to free myself from hate, and eventually recover and be happy. In your case, give yourself some time to heal. Believe me, everything will turn out fine.

there are some people I really don't like, but that's not because they have done something to me, but sometimes I just don't like their attitude. But it doesn't mean that I don't speak to them... I just don't like.
Regarding forgiving, I just can forget anything easily and ignore it. If they are good to me again, I will be good to them as well.

I find that if we focus on love than there is very little to forgive.

Forgiveness for me varies of what did the person do to you.Because for me some people always repeat of what they have been doing if you forgive so easily and that is not funny also.I say this because some people likes to make fun of you and not sensible enough of what you feel.

@Swayamsiddha we have different personalities though. just do not rush on things and I know someday you could learn to forgive those people, and by then you will feel freedom from those hatred and anger inside you.

Some of the mistakes can be forgiven but not all. If the mistake ruin your life, then it's not possible to forgive that particular person.

To have the peace of mind is to forgive and forget those who tresspass against you. Though it seems difficult but yet it's possible.

@Nakitakona Prayer is the best shield and weapon to all. We should entrust to the Lord the burdens we have in our hearts in order for us to be able to forgive those people.
