Its easy to say sorry but hard to forgive. But we need to learn how to forgive easily because that's what God taught us.

Really?? I have always found it harder for me, personally, to apologize. Forgiving for me comes naturally and easily, especially if I feel like the apology is sincere. I guess this issue then comes down to the person and their natural tendencies.

In my experience it is more difficult to say " I forgive you" to the person whom you love for so long and just betray you. Even if you have given all your trust to that person. though we might say to the other person that i already forgiven you. but then when the memories flash back you can still feel the hatred within you. Not like in saying im sorry to the person you hurt. though we know that she/he felt the same way too. That it might be also hard for her/him to forgive you.

It is say i am sorry. But i always try to forgive people who had a mistake because if i do the same mistakes, i would be please if someone forgive me too.

I think it's more difficult to apologize, than forgive. Some people just are too proud to apologize for something, they find it humiliating. I think it's a great art to know, how to forgive and to know, how to apologize. People would have much better relations if they could apologize and forgive to each-other.

For me, it is hard to forgive a particular person who doesn't know how to say sorry for the bad things that have done to you.

Saying I'm sorry is the most difficult because you are swallowing your pride in the process. It'll be the most humbling moment that you'll ever encounter. After saying that you'll feel at peace with yourself. Try it.

being big enough to admit we are wrong and saying sorry for is easier, and forgiving is harder at time but it depend what the person did to me,such as stole from me, or like just last year the person who tried to force himself on my daughter it will be hard to forgive him

For me, it's harder to forgive people. Sometimes it is hard for me to say I'm sorry but I am that kind of person where if i know I did something wrong or made someone feel bad, I would not hesitate to say so and apologize. I have gotten hurt way to many times to count, so now when people say they are sorry, for certain things, it's sometimes harder for me to get over a little more quickly than I used to. I wish it weren't that way, but I think if everyone were just more concerned with people's feelings, there would be more people out there that wouldn't even know how to answer this question because things would not be as bad as they are out there.

Hi Friend, Frankly speaking it mostly depends upon the situation, but generally speaking it would be easier for people free of ego, to say sorry and also to forgive, but for those with ego they find it difficult for both saying sorry and for forgiving others. It is true that once you forgive anybody then you will fell a self satisfaction and greatness.

For me is the word "forgive me or Forgive us". coz usually we always saying Sorry if we did a mistake in many cases. but forgive its seems that you've done a big mistake to a person so for me, forgive is a difficult to say. Thanks....

I think it might depend on the situation, and the severity of the matter at hand. If the person say sorry is clearly at fault, then apologizing should be straightforward, as you know what you've done wrong. If they do apologize, and are sincere, then forgiving them should be easy as well. On the other hand, if it's not clear who's fault it is, then it may be difficult to apologize because they don't know who should be apologizing...in this situation, I think it's best to confront the other person to settle the differences.
