I would forgive people whoever make mistakes. That is what God wants always. I pray for everyone and for the whole world. I always learn about the wrongs and be honest about it at all costs. I keep my faith in the Heavenly Father through the Catholic Church. So you gotta love even your enemies. I pray especially for all my loved ones and all friends. I pray for those who have died, especially in the loved ones, family category, that they may rest in God forever. So, if anyone does anything wrong to you, never return anything like that at all. Just tell someone. Importantly, just forgive that wrongdoer. So if you forgive that person, his/her sins are forgiven. I understand it is sometimes hard to be a forgiving person. Also, importantly, you have to become a loving person. So, please forgive those who have done wrong.

Of course. I dont keep it in my mind. When a person does wrong to me, or to others i think i have to always forgive and understand that we are only human and is just in need of more understanding.
We too make mistakes and we are always forgiven... who are we to hold grudges and not do the same to other people who made a mistake and is asking for forgiveness

That's right. We have to understand and keep in mind that there are lots of people who do wrong. Some of them will feel guilty while others do not care at all. Just still always be forgiving. I understand it is hard, but work on it. Just love the whole world, even the enemies. That's right. No one is perfect at all. Of course, God understands.

We have all made mistakes in our lives. It is a matter if we learn from our mistakes or not. Yes, I do forgive people for their mistakes, however even forgiving them, I doubt we completely forget the wrong doing of some that they do upon us. It's called 'human nature'.
And since you brought God into the discussion, he is the only one to judge us, and the person who made the mistake.

Well, God always forgive us as we ask HIM a lot. As long as we admit our sins to HIM. God never lies or makes mistakes at all. Since God is all perfect. God will allow suffering and wickedness in our world. But we should not blame HIM for all the troubles and problems at all. We need to know that each person who does wrong brings about punishment upon him/herself. So, yes, afterall, you are right about forgiveness. We have to admit, confess, and repent of our sins. And we admit that Jesus is the Son of God. And the Holy Spirit is the comforter and guide in our lives. Yeah, God is aware of our problems and sufferings as well as conflicts. God always love us a lot. So we need to be patient, close our eyes and pray quietly. And God will hear us. He knows what we have and what we always need. So ask HIM to help and heal and HE will. Just experience from the blessings GOD gives us. Remember, the Holy Spirit will be with us, always.

Hi dear Jakesnake, it is a common saying that not all human are the saints therefore we are bound to make mistakes every now and then.
I always try my best to forgive anyone for making mistake as long as he does not have any malicious motive. I would always forgive him readily if he commits it unintentionally provided that he himself does ask for apology on the matter concerned.
Yeah, sometimes it could be difficult to be a forgiving person. In certain cases we might be hurt deeply and we need time to get healed and forget the incidents altogether, though we have forgiven them for their wrong doing.

Ya I do forgive people for their mistakes because I believe no one is perfect on earth. And if the person realises his mistakes and feels guilty then surely I'll forgive him. But I have such a nature that I remember only good things and forget about the bad ones easily so automatically the person is forgiven:)
