Forgetting versus forgiving

April 14, 2017 9:18am CST
Words that usually goes hand in hand. But seldom, in certain parts of our life can we do such. It's either we forgive or we forget first. Only time can tell when... Only time can tell when we could do both. It's always a question for many of us, which is easier to do, to forgive or to forget. We all have our own opinions and views regarding his matter.But always remember, mean what you say, and say what you do.

I always forgive people who do me wrong but I do not forget what they did so I will not commit the same mistake like trusting them.

Besides, in that scenario obviously, you've learned your lesson.

@lclacambra yes and by forgiving I mean praying for those who did me wrong and removing the anger in my heart but still I do not forget and always on my guard when I encounter them.

If someone wronged you real bad, I don't think you can just say, "OK, I'm going to forgive the person that did this to me." I think you have to be emotionally ready to forgive first.

In that case, it is. I guess you have to consider the severity of the pain, and time it needed before you could forgive.

@Iclacambra Sometimes, immediately I can never forgive or forget after a wrong, but time heals everything

In my case, I've been degraded by a certain someone and I somehow find it really hard to forgive them, not to mention they're not even asking for forgiveness. Thing is, I seem to find it really hard to just sweep it under the rug.I'm the one who's losing for not having a peace of mind at all

I do understand your situation. You're not alone. I guess we both need some time. Enough time to heal our wounds, enough time to ease the pain...Keep praying, God gives his greatest test to his bravest soldier. You're one of them. God bless you.
