Love does make all the mistakes to be dead and unforgivable. That's right, and it was love. Everyone just needs to practice to distinguish whether it's love or not .... which becomes the question, how can you distinguish between love and forgive?

Hi. For me, love and forgiveness should always come from the heart. It will not be real love or forgiveness if we have offered/given these from the mind and not from the heart. I don't really know how to differentiate love and forgiveness. But just to give one, I would like to relate these words to another word which is "imperfections." I believe we all have our own imperfections and in one way or another, we have experienced love and forgiveness. So, I would like to say that "loving could mean forgiving or accepting imperfections but forgiving could not mean loving the person or his/her imperfections." When we love someone, we are always ready to forgive his/her mistakes or imperfections. But when we forgive someone, we are not always ready to love him/her again.

Love is a feeling that comes from the heart Loving someone does not entails to love only the most wonderful side of that person but also the worst side of him. Forgiving is the hardest thing the person can do if it cause us too much pain. It takes time to forgive because it takes time to heal the wounds that cause the pain.

hi advokatku love is really different than forgive as you can forgive anyone but you will not necessarily love that person. love is not that easy to give and forgiveness is much easier. oh sure we say we love cheese and blue sky and the color yellow but thats really like. Love and forgive are great if the forgiveness is sincere. but they are not the same thing. I can forgive a stranger for accidentally stepping on my foot but I do not love that person.At least not in the romantic sense. I do love all mankind as my brothers but thats not romantic love.
