According to scriptures; "forgive one another" (Matthew 6:14; Ephesians 4:32) A Christian who does not "forgive" can reap anger and loss of the rewards in heaven. On the other hand, sometimes it's really hard to forget the sins or things that have committed against us. But, if we forgive someone.. then it's time to forget someone. It's not as easy as maybe..try to pre-occupy yourself some things that keep you busy and productive. You will never notice, success comes on your way.

I have been able to forgive and forget. I find it to be the best medicine when someone hurts you deeply. I mean when you forgive and forget the pain cannot control your life and hurt you anymore.

It's either you forgive and forget or spend the rest of yourlife grudging and hating other people because of some person did to you. hate can cloud your judgment that it can really do harm to other people. even if you have successfully take revenge on the person who had caused harm to you, will it even make you happy? think about it..

I don't know if some hurts can ever be "forgotten". In my opinion to forgive does not mean making the statement that what the other person did is okay, to me it means that you can let the deed go and not continue to hold on to the resentment and desire for revenge and you don't necessarily have to be friends with the one that hurt you just let the bad feelings go and move on. It's not an easy thing to do!
