Do you forgive and forget easily?

I mean is it easy for me? I try to and most of the times thanks to God I succeed. I mean if you forgive that is better but if you not forget you are in trouble anyways because that thing will keep on bothering you and then eventually you are harming yourself and your health and not the other person so it is better to forgive and also forget. No one is perfect after all.

sometimes when we are hurt it is easy to forgive and scripture tells us we must but forgetting is sometimes not so easy !

I forgive and forget easily. I agree with you it's better to forgive others because you are not just doing it for the other person but for yourself too. You will have more peace when you forgive and forget. Bearing somebody a grudge is very bad for our health.

i forgive but i dont forget. there is a difference in not forgetting and always thinking about it. i remember so that i dont let it happen again but i give a person a chance not to do it. forgiving is nto always easy you have to find that part of you that can forgive but it is always better to forgive so that it doesnt hurt others around you

But don't you think that if we don't forget it we are still holding the grudge. We are still thinking that s/he will do it again. I guess we should forget and if they do it again then tell me that it is not good.

i guess you could say i dont forget that way i have learned. i do forgive though. its jsut i believe in learning from mistakes and to have to forgive is meant there was a mistake in the first place

It is not a mistake on your side because you were being good and that is not a mistake :) Happy Living!

This is the one of most worse weakness that I found in myself, that its really very very difficult for me to forgive anybody who had really hurted me deeply with his/her lies.....I truely hate a liar.....although I am a soft hearted person and never get angry with someone very easily but if the person has lied to me abt something that really matters for someone's life and effected negatively, then its the worse out of me. But in true sense, I wanna change this habbit of mine and really working hard on it to forgive others after all, nobody is perfect and I do myself make mistakes sometimes.....
