I heard this wise word in the television. The presenter said when we insult or hurt other we tend not to forget it than being hurt by other, is it true?

I think it is true. I am least bothered about hurting people. More than that, I don't know whether my words hurt a person or not. But, I care a lot about it if somebody hurts me. I will keep it in mind for a long time and thus develops a hatred towards other person. I am a person who takes a lot of time to forget. I can easily forgive, but it is difficult to forget.

Yes, I think if I have hurt someone especially the one I love, I can't forgive myself. And, I always remember it. But, if someone hurts me especially the one who is not close to me I prefer to forget it easily.

I am not so agreed with this opinion and it'not always turns right.Some times when we hurt other people we will feel guity and quite sorry about it,but we really have no chance to resolve it then at this situation we maybe will not forget it for a long time .There always some times when we hurt sb we even don't know it and this is quite common things and maybe we can't remember it at all.

I guess that is true. the people who have hurt us may sometimes think of it and well if they have incidentally hurt the people they love, of course they would feel being hurt too and they might not forget it as quickly as we already have movied on, because there is the guilt attached to the whole thing...

Dear Riani,
Is it true that when we hurt other we never forget?
I am not sure whether this wise word applies to everyone.
However, I believe, anyone with a good character and sensitiveness
will feel bad if they hurt anyone. At times we do hurt someone not
purposely or unknowingly. If we realised that we hurt someone, I
think it is wise to apologise...
I always keep in mind that, before we say or do anything that might
hurt anyone, we should always put' ourselves in their shoes'.
thanks and take care :)

Yes, I can't agree with you anymore.
Your discussion reminds me of a story happening between my friend and me. About 2 years ago, for various reasons, I quarreled with my beeeeest friend. You see, I have been friends with him for more than 6 years(we had been familiar with each other when we were kids). But at that time, we cursed each other and he really was hurt by my words.
Now, it seems that we have no choice to get friendly again and I always feel guilty for him.
