Do you?
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
Life's too short to hold grudges..
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
No.
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
yeah
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
yes
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
if i love the person then yes i will forgive repeated times(forgetting might be a bit difficult...sighs), but eventually a person becomes numb to the other person that hurts them repeatedly and i think this is when it becomes similar to the negatives of the concept of unconditional love, like Sadism and Masochism.
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
Haven't you asked this question before or something similar to it? I think for many people there's no black and white answer. The "ease" with which you forgive can depend upon the gravity of the offense, the frequency of the offense, the relationship, how much emotional energy you invested in the relationship, etc. Forgiveness may come at a later point....or it may not. But "ease" is not so easy to determine.
It seems like something is up with you....and someone had asked the same question in one of your previous threads...considering many of your questions are similar. If there is something bothering you...keep in mind that people handle issues differently....and ultimately you have to do what is best for you. If you've hurt someone and asked for forgiveness and tried to make amends...and that person just doesn't want to maintain contact....have some respect for yourself/give them space...and move on with your life. If they're meant to be a part of your life/to come back....they will. If you're the one that is having trouble deciding whether or not to forgive.......well that's hard to say. If you don't feel forgiving.....that's fine....why push it? It wouldn't be sincere. It may come later on. Or the other option is to forgive the person for your own peace of mind....if it's bothering you so much. But either way.....don't forget the lessons that came with the experience.
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
i forgive easily if the person is sincerly sorry however forgetting is something that i can't do easily.. it may fade over time but deep down it just makes me more cautious about the person and the fact it may re-accur keep me alert .
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
I try.
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
yes i do , which isnt good all the time as that's when people take advantage
and say or do mean things again because they know your going to forgive and forget again
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
The cliche forgive and forget is unhealthy. The question of forgiveness does not arise if the other party does not sincerely seek forgiveness, and acknowledges the hurt they have caused, and how this must have affected you. If they do seek your forgiveness with such sincerity, then one should probably forgive. But this no one is perfect argument is weak - it can be injurious to one's emotional well being if one chooses to forgive the other party who does not even seek one's forgiveness.
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
**this topic was discussed once before as far as i remember. :)
anyhow, i do forgive after listening to the person's explanations but never forget! this does NOT mean that i harbour grudge against that person. the idea behind NOT forgetting is that i must be very careful with him/her in future and trey to steer clear of him :)
i believe... *"to err is human anmd to forgive is divine!"* ... :)**
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?

Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
i definetly hold grudges. But trying to change that cuz its been getting me in a lot of trouble lately
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
forgive yes..forget No!!!!!
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
Difficult to understand why such an important thread did not stick. For those such as the Red lady (who normally is spot on with her analysis) who stated this issue has been raised before - there is nothing new under the sun. So it is OK to rehash old topics - at least for this poster this topic was new. And certainly worth more attention than it has got (IMO)
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
I forgive but find it hard to forget if someone has wronged me......working on being able to forget......
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
Yes, both.
Not fun.
Re: Do you ‘Forgive and Forget’ easily?
i forgive easily. It takes me time to forget but i do forget it too. I just dont repeat the same mistake. I love it though, forgiving and forgetting makes me feel really good. I am often happy that I was successful in not letting anyone create hate in my heart.
