forgive and forget---> do you agree? email this discussion to a friend?

teacherkath (6)6 months ago

forgiveness is a noble act. it reconciles us with someone who's hurt us and did wrong to us. forgiving is possible. but to forget isn't.

i don't believe that you can totally forget a wrong doing done to you when it had a grievous impact on your life. i think forgiveness is more of accepting and moving on from something wrong done to you than forgetting that someone caused you pain. do you agree?

yes i agree with you... I can almost relate with what you have said. I was sexually molested by a closest relative when i was six years old but it only happened once and it's right that it has done grievous impact in my life that is like a nightmare and haunting my mind. now that i'm grown up i still can't forget and too much asking on my mind that had not yet answered.

It is really hard to think that we can forget the wrong done to us, coz to really forget is impossible unless you will have a selective amnesia..=) kidding aside.. all i know is that when you sincerely forget someone who caused you pain or trouble the first person who will benefit from it is yourself.. you wont have the bitterness anymore but peace instead..
