What is the reason why you forgive people?

Forgiving someone is like giving them another chance when they made a mistake and forgiving someone is like opening the door again for them to be with you. Anyway, I forgive the reason because I want to keep them. I don't want to separate from them but before that I want them to know their mistakes so that they'll not do it again.

I forgive because I do not want to hold or carry any grudge or burden inside me. Forgiveness is the right thing to do.

Indeed. Keeping everything up to the present might affect the future.

It's nice that you are a forgiving person. Forgiving is not so easy but sometimes I forgive because I really have moved on from whatever it is. They say forgiving is giving our heart less burden and same thing for the person we forgive. Not being forgiving gives you baggage to carry around. I havent perfected forgiving though.

I'm not a forgiving person. Once a glass is broken, you can't put it back again like before. I might be a friend to them but not like before, and you're right about it. We forgive for us to feel better and to reduce the stress that we feel every day. There's no perfect forgiving though.

@jdbces Just like a finished relationship, there are ex-couples who are no longer talking to each other after making mistakes

@tech40 I agree. Sometimes, we forgive for peace of mind but there are those relationships that wont get back to the way it was before. And that's okay.

I forgive only if they acknowledged their faults.

It's hard to forgive if they don't know their mistake. There's a possibility that they'll do it again in the future if they'll not accept their mistakes.

@tech40 I am sure some of them are in denial for committing mistakes. These people are full of themselves.

Indeed. Forgive but never forget

once they've done a lot of damage, then it's time to do something on it.

To be honest i forgive for myself not the person who wronged me, unforgiveness is like poison it consumes a person and just imagine you are busy killing yourself with this poison and someone doesn't care or doesn't even know they have hurt you.So forgiveness is for me.

You have a point there, because you're the one who got hurt from what they've done to you.

Depend on the mistake the other person make. Some not worth being angry for so long. Some, I don't want to bother with anymore. Not exactly forgiving but I don't want to be involve with the other person again. It's like forget and begone from my life.

You have to forgive somebody even if they have done grave mistake because that will be in your interest. No point in raising your blood pressure for others mistakes.

Now that's a good thought if you ask me @tech40 But for me, if the person will bring only harm and sorrow, I try not to be close to that person. Unless that person is a relative or someone very close to me, will forgive that person

Little things are easy to forgive. Some of the big things, that truly hurt us, are much harder. I harbored a huge one for years, I just could not let it go, and really struggled with it. Finally I realized it was eating me up emotionally, and I let it go at last. I felt much better. I don't like to hold grudges.

For me, the first reason is my kids. My husband is a best dad that I could ask for my kids (compared to all my in laws). I saw a lot of divorce victim. Kids are the ones who receive biggest impact. I am glad that I give him another chance. He changed a lot. Better dad and better husband.
