If someone behaves in a way that offends, irritates or makes you angry, do you typically feel"vengeance", and possibly seek revenge? Or...do you normally feel "forgiveness", and go on your way?

I forgive, but it is the forgetting that I have issues with. I also think it take time to learn to be a forgiving person and most people are not that way. But forgiveness will set you free. good luck!

Yes, the forgetting...that is the tough part. Not much can help there except love, time and a perpetually positive outlook on life in general, I guess. You're right, too, about forgiveness setting one free...long as they learn to forget! Thanks for the post.

When the problem persists, i tend to ignore and try to stay nice. theres nothing someone hates more than ignorance when they try to get you down. if you show emotion they would have think they won.it makes you stronger too, if you can be the bigger person and not let them get to you. its a habbit worth learning. its very difficult but possible.

Yep...I agree. The "stay nice" method has worked for me, too. "Love conquers all", as they say, right? Thanks for the post.
