Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

I think it's foolish to forgive and forget. I NEVER forget. However, I AM able to forgive.

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

I forgive but I don't forget. It helps me to learn from the experience.

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

I believe that if you forget, the reason why the person needed forgiveness can happen to you again. (if that makes sense)

I actually have forgiven some people for things they have done, and have forgotten SOME things. What I mean by forgotten though is that what they did is not something I would ever throw back in their face at a later time. It was something that I was willing to "get over" so I consider that forgetting. Most of the times though, I forgive, but I will not forget, it kinda depends on what was done if that makes any sense.

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

Sure!

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

Forgive but never forget.

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

I forgive, but never forget.

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

In one situation, I didn't forgive and I didn't forget. This person, who wasn't even my friend..it's my MIL's friend, wants to see the baby and wonders why I don't want to see her again. If she didn't talk $hit about me and insult me then maybe she'd be in my life.

So I don't forgive or forget.

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

I always try to forgive! A friend of mine's actions in the last few months really hurt me to the point where I can't even look him in the face. In that case, I can forgive, but not forget.

I forgive but really never forget. Some things will always linger.

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

I never forgive and I never forget....I haven't spoken to my sister in just about 5 years! And I feel no remorse or sorrow what so ever!

My mother says I am bitter and stubborn! I guess she is right!

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

absolutely never forget...sometimes I wonder if that means you actually never accepted what happened.

Re: do you think people forgive but don't forget?

Forgiveness for me comes very easily. I've been seriously hurt in the past by people and in order for me to move on, I needed to forgive. Forgiveness is for yourself, not for the other person. Forgetting is something else. I don't think anyone ever "forgets". I think that, no matter how long it takes, you need to get past the hurt. You still remember it, but it takes on a different significance. I think it is harder to hold onto a hurt than to let it to go, but that doesn't mean that you have to become friends, or even like, the person who has hurt you. You just need to do whatever it takes to heal.
