I think that can be very hard to forget things that happen to you and the people who caused those things, but the bad thing is that it can only cause us harm if we continue to think about these things. The best thing that we can do is to try to remove all of our reminders of these people, whether that is photographs or things like that, and then make the most of the time that we have with our friends to make sure that we make the important people in our lives realise just how much they are the ones who mean a lot to us.

In those kinda situation , its never easy to forgive a person that hurt you . The longer the "enemity" is carried out the harder it will be to forgive and it might build up more problem also . I have gotten upset with friends and maybe stop talking to each other for the most a week over simpler things than the things you mention .
Its hard to imagine someone leaving you in old age , cheat you in a business and we just forgive them in a blink of an eye or simple apology . Those are very deep scare and will take more time to heal , but forgiving them dont mean you have to trust them its just that you are willing to free yourself from thinking about them and the wrong they have done to you .
I will forgive but I will not forget . Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me .

Forgive and forget them, it is the only way God teaches us to do, when your heart is at peace, then you can do the things you want to do peacefully, its not good to keep pondering on these people who are never meant to be together with you. I have tried it to pray each day that God will forgive me and my friends who hurted me so much, now I am feeling better.

Dealing with the feelings that surround enemies of the past.. Great topic!! I have had plenty of people in my past like that.. First of all I go through the motions of anger.. I get upset, then mad.. and after all that is done I move on.. How? I forgive the person for what ever they have done.. We are all human, we make mistakes or do things that hurts others.. But I never forget the hurt I felt.. Why? First of all I dont want to allow that person to hurt me like that again, or any one else for that matter.. I use the anger in the end as fuel; to help me push foward to do better for my family.. It really works! I have been able to do many things that I wouldnt of done any other way... Some of my enemies of my past are within arms reach.. Its just the way life works sometimes... It all depends on your point of view.. What you can tolerate, give over, get even, or leave alone..

I can understand the situation you are talking about. Okay now whatever happens or happens in the past. do not keep thinking about it because you will only get hurt and waste your time. Just concentrate on yourself and your future. don't think about what others did to you. Just be careful in the future not to get cheated and hurt. just concentrate on your future and think positive. a day will come that these people will see you prosper and they will be wanting to be with you but you will not even have time for them. Just forgive them and forget them for good. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Read it carefully...
"Take a bottle of muddy water in a transparent bottle and keep it aside and forget about it and Never disturb it. You can find the next day the bottle full of clean and purified water and a very little wastage at the bottom of that bottle. Just all you have to do is get the purified water to the next bottle and leave the rest. Are you happy now? Yes I hope you are very peaceful now. Keep smiling."
Never try to follow anything to get peace.
All you have to do is 'Never Disturb'. Leave it alone. That's it.
