Do you forgive all those who had done you wrong? No matter how or up to what extent his wrong deed against you? Or you are the type that hate and forget? Which are you?

I forgive. But I am cursed not to forget. Somehow, it takes time before that someone can earn my trust again. :(

Other people consider me quite a fogiving person. I let things go when people make a mistake. If it's a small and petty things, then I don't feel the necessity to use up my energy in being angry and hateful. But, when someone purposely and mal-intentionally wrongs me, especially when they know it would be very hurtful to me. It's a lot harder to forgive. If that person later gives me a meaningful apology, I forgive. But, I am a lot more cautious, not as trusting. I do forgive, and I do let that person back in my life...but I do not forget.

I find it easy to forgive unintentionally done mistakes, but not forgetting all about it. I believe that it is not necessary that we forget the wrong which was committed because, we are supposed to learn from the mistakes of others just as much as we learn from ours. But as for mistakes that was intentionally done, there is a need to talk about it in depth before forgiveness is given.

I hold grudges. I'm still annoyed about things that happened when i was a little kid lol I don't understand the concept of forgiving people. what exactly does forgiving entail? I can't figure it out. Under some circumstances, i might not hold something against the person, but i will remember it and take in into account with my opinion of the person. In some cases, i will hold a serious grudge that will last for years, if it seriously bothered me, and i sometimes seek vengance against the person also.

generally speaking,yes I am~ I am an hot-heated person,to be honest,my temper is just terrible sometimes... I'd lose my temper when I am being annoyed anytime,but I'll forget all about these soon after it passed~ and I'll get not that angry about people involed in those "wars"... after all, it is uesless for one to remember someone's faults all the time...in countrary,it would be much better if u try to forgive them,they may not mean to hurt u or do something stupid,right?
