Do You Easily Forgive? / myLot

They say forgive and forget. Easier said than done. But forgiving does not come easy especially to those people who are terribly hurt and felt betrayed. Though the Bible speaks of forgiveness all the time and loving your enemies, humans will always be humans. There may be some who are quick to forgive but cannot easily forget the harm done on them. W cannot blame them because each of us have a story to tell. I believe that forgiving takes a long and agonizing process but in the end, once you had forgiven someone, you would feel better and lighter because in one way or another you have ceased hurting yourself as well.

I can forgive easily but I can't forget easily.

Yeah, I do! It wasn't easy for the first part of my life, but I became a new creature then I knew it's important to forgive.

I may take time to forgive but I never forget, that is my nature. If the hurt is deep then forgiving may delayed.

If it's something minor I will forgive and forget but if someone has done something to really hurt me I might forgive but it will remain in my memory,

Before it hard for me to forgive and to forget but I learned that by forgiving your letting yourself to be free from heartache and stress.

I will forgive a couple of times but if the person keeps doing the same thing over and over again. They do not deserve to be forgiven.

I agree with you on that. If the same people commit the same mistake, they are the mistake!

Greetings, Forgiving is all about not holding any sort of hatred inside. Although difficult, it's quite possible. It depends only on us. If we work hard enough within our own emotions, we can let go of these feelings. They have little to offer to us, by the way. Forgetting is a different thing. I don't think we should ever forget. I don't think we should keep remembering, though. If you have had any traumatic experience, if something someone has done hurt you, you probably will remember it for a while. But it shouldn't be a proposital memory. It should be something stick to your own self, so you can prepare yourself better in the future. Regards!
