i am a blur person. Lots of things i don't remember or don't know. My brother used to get upset and find it unforgivable. Then 1 day a pyschic told him. You are an old soul with many past lives...she is a new soul. Pingo. 1 statement and my bro is a change person. Now he forgive me easily when i make a boo boo. He see me in new perspective and understanding. Why we don't forgive ? think is because we expect too much from the person we hate. A raptist is a normal person, a mother is loving, a best friend always a faithful human being. If we see them as soul with complicated & tortured past lives, brain with both sound and mess up values & life(more of the latter haha !) Then suddenly you see light at the tunnel. Be a smart soul - regardless of what happen to you. Release your anger, your enemy so that you don't have to pay a price for their mistake using your own blood

because people are not that insensitive. when we get hurt, the wound does not heal in an instant. it takes time to smile again. it takes time to forget.

Its related with emotional someone to handle it. Forgive is easy word but hard in meaning. Its not easy to really giving forgiveness, coz we already hurting by that person. And basically human in psycologic always recorded the feeling to be hurting whether he likes or dislike. So it depends on our emotional background how soon we can apologize someone who already hurting our selves. But for some people, who has good handling in emotionally, giving forgiveness to a person who already hurting them is not so much difficult coz they know there is useless to keep hurting feeling in their selves. So how about us? can we make it easier?

Because we are selfish Bastar*ds and have a hard time forgiving anyone and anything.Just face it we are imperfect human beings and we will say we forgive but we will never forget.I think this is part of our original sins.

forgive - forgive
I think it is human nature,we sometimes say it is easy to forgive but hard to forget,this is actually true,but they say you had not forgiven someone if you still have not forgotten what had happen in the past. it is just hard to do it.and time heal all wounds, I think after how many years after the bad thing thing happen we can already. And thinking God had forgiven his perpetrators why can't we?
