I know I am not perfect and i know I make mistakes. It is so hard for me to forgive someone when they hurt me because I am scared that they will hurt me again. How do I forgive someone when they hurt me? Do I just havr to forgive and forget ? Is that possible?

Hey, Well I think that forgetting is probably the hardest part out of forgiving and forgetting. That is the one thing that I find is the hardest, because it is hard to actually forget all the things they have done to us. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Hi, humans are not perfect, and i am human. I can t blame somebody if i am not perfect. But is something what i cant forgive, when somebody betray me. This is impossible to forget and forgive. I can forgive and forget everything but if somebody betray, i can t forgive ..because tomorrow will betray me again if i forgive.

You can forgive and move on with them in a different direction than before, but you cannot forget. But think of this... to hold a grudge takes a lot of energy that could be put into different other areas in your life.

I am so used to forget whatever wrong some one did to me in life, at the end of the day, forgiven always overtake vengeance in my conscience while dealing with hurtful people, they just became history in my memory.
