Do you believe that everyone deserves forgiveness?

I forgive, but I don't forget. When I read your headline, I wasn't thinking about romance. I was thinking about the criminal world. If someone shoplifts, I forgive them and would try to help them mend their ways. If someone commits a violent crime against someone, I might forgive them spiritually, but I would want to see them locked up for life.

Well there's a saying "I FORGIVE, but not FORGET". I will stick to this quote and actions, whenever somebody does something bad to me. In general, not everyone deserves forgiveness. Regardless of their actions, there are people with some acts, worse that you could imagine ever. So no, not everyone deserves forgiveness. But most of the people do, though.

God can forgive us. I also do the same thing. But I easily forget them.

@Vblonde I forgive almost all people.But forgetting is another matter.

I try forgive and hope they're going to pay for what they've done. For their own sake, not because I'm vengeful. And yes, you're right: forgiving isn't equal to forgetting, so it's hard to gain trust like nothing happened. I forgive because I want to do a favor to myself, too.

Depends what it is. I can forgive but it is harder to forget. Just because I forgive doesn't mean I think the person was right in what they did. This one is a very difficult one for me. I am dealing with it personally right now.

Yes. We can forgive but never trust until proven they have change. Everyone should forgive because God will not forgive us if we do not learn how to forgive also. Gd bless.

I know we have to forgive, first of all because Jesus commands us to, but also because the unforgiveness only hurts us in the end, not the person we don't want to forgive. I think the hardest time to forgive someone is when they don't even want to be forgiven, or they think they haven't done anything wrong. Again, the forgiveness is for us, not them.

I don't think everyone deserves forgiveness. It often come down to a religious type thing. Some religions say forgiveness is good. I am not religious but do believe in forgiveness in certain circumstances. If someone has done something bad to me and we get it sorted out and I can see why it happened and see that they are really sorry I forgive them. Would I forgive the likes of Ian Brady,Ted Bundy, Ian Huntley, Gary Ridgway etc etc...hell no

I think that it's the Almighty decision to decide if somebody shall be forgiven or not..

It is just so easy to tell someone to forgive and moe on. But to actually be in a situation that needs forgiveness? That is a totally different story. I am still praying every night to learn how to forgive that person who caused us trouble. And it is very, very difficult to give it to someone who does not deserve it. But then again, forgiving so someone is not for the person, but actually for your own good. So i am trying so hard to forgive. I hope i could give it soonest. I think it needs some time and effort to be able to forgive someone.
