To me, it is easy to forgive, but hard to forget. It also depends on what kind of mistakes, and as time goes by it will still be remembered, but the impact will eventually fade in time.

I'm a tolerant person and it's easy for me to forgive others' mistakes. While it's difficult for me to forget. I'd like to keep things like some hurts in my mind, though I know it's a bad habit and it makes me stay in the bad memory, I can't change it.

Yes and no. If my friend does something tome but he/she apologizes Right away , I do forgive them but I never forget. But that they apologizes I don't have to seek revenge.But if they do something and don't apologizes. I neither forgive nor forget. In fact they just lost a friend and gained an enemy.

Hey, I think that forgiving is kind of the easy part, but forgetting I think is the hardest part out of these two. Because it is still in your mind, all the images and what they have said to you, but all in all, I still try and forget it. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I agree with. Its easy to forgive but it is too hard to forget especially when your trust is betrayed and you are sure that you are not at fault.

For me, it depends on the friend. I am a forgiving person for the most part, but if a friend does me wrong over and over, it's not that easy. Just pay attention to your friends actions, and you will see sooner or later whether they deserve any forgiveness from you.

It depends on the friend and what he or she did.....most of the time I can forgive but there are those times when I just cant...

Well, I believe it is very healthy to forgive others regardless if you decide to remain friends or not. However, I dont believe that things should be forgotten. That doesnt mean we should dwell on things, just remember so that we are aware of who people are and what they are capable of.

hello entrepinoy...While many people claim to be able to forgive and forget,there is a little curse which hangs over our head called memory which constantly reminds us,.. for me you can pretending there are nothing happen.... don't talk it out... everyone can make mistake.... take it as part of our life..
