"To err is human, to forgive is divine," so as the saying goes. IF a person commits a grave sin agains you, would you readily forgive and forget?

forgiveness takes time as time heals all wounds. but for me, as i have learned from my mother, those people deserves Karma. "what you sow, is what you reap", yes of course people make mistakes because we're onlu human, nut if its intentional, you've got to take all the consequences based on your acts.

Here, I would not blame any person for causing any kind of trouble. That person is giving me an opportunity to experiance the diffucult situation & try to overcome of it. It will enrich my experiance of life. It will help me to know myself. This is the biggest gift which he is going to deliver to me unknowingly. Then instead of forgiving him, I should thank him.

depends on how hurt the action has caused me....to forgive entirely takes a very long time n' sometimes it couldn't be achieved till the end of our life but to forget is harder still....unless u let it go, the action will haunt u as long as u could remember.... :)

i find it difficult to forgive people who have hurt me. but forgetting is much more difficult. i realized that after i reach the point of forgiving someone, the forgetting part is much more difficult to achieve.

Forgiving is a process. Even if we have forgiven the person we hardly forget what was done. I think what forget means is letting go of the grudges in our hearts. We might not forget what had happened but the hatred must not be there anymore. It is okay to forgive and forget. We are only humans.
