A lot of people has wronged me. And I have said I have forgiven them. But even if so many years has passed, every time it is brought up, I still feel the pain within. I want to erase those bad memories, because I want to move on and won't be affected with the past. But others say, "use that pain within to make you a better person, having pain is normal as long as it won't destroy your being". Any comment?

as for me, if someone did me wrong and have asked for forgiveness and the truth and sincerity is there, i am able to move on and totally forget about the pain and wrong doing that person has given me, i can totally forgive the person but also if something wrong done to me was so painful and i cannot feel the sincerity of the person asking for it, it is hard for me to forgive the person, and the scar to my being is there caused by the pain of this wrong doing..it is there and i can always remember it...also i try my best to be a strong and better person, to prove those negative people that what they have caused me is not a hindrance for me to able to live a happy and better life..they must not control me but i control myself.

those sayings are easier said than done. i don't think that we are meant to forget the wrongs that have been done to us. how could we forget them if we are supposed to learn from them. don't worry, it's normal to have the reaction to want to twinge every time you think about. the most important thing is not to live by what happened, but use it to not let others screws you like that.

It's hard to completely forget about the pain that you once felt. Like me, although I have accepted the reality of it all, but when I am reminded of what happened in the past, I would feel the pain all over again. So it is just managing your feelings, really. You just need to control your emotions. As time goes on, the intensity of the pain is not as bad as the first time you felt.

I just forget the past and move on.. I even forget anything about the person who has wronged me. I don't even like to see this person, smell this person or ever look at this person it is just no way.. so I forget everything, specially if the person who have hurt me is a insignificant one I don't really give a damn.. LOL
