Not at all. It is a very hard thing to do for many people.

You just need to be mindful what you do with that forgivess.

If you continue to allow yourself to hurt and betrayed by the same person, then I think it is not so much weakness, but something for you to address to stop that from continuing.

Aux contraire, it takes courage to forgive, it takes faith and self-respect, self control and self love.

Holding a grudge is very detrimental to your physical and mental health. It denotes fear and pettiness.

Forgiveness is, in my opinion, one of the best qualities in a person.

'forgiveness' Sheesh..I need to go to sleep!

No, a strong one. I do the same. I never forget, but I always forgive. And yes, even Buddha taught that those are different, and that one does not have to forget to forgive. A lesson is learned, and should be remembered, but the anger and hurt should be let go.

Blessings.

"Forgiveness is the greatest weapon, It sets your mind and your heart free and it also frees hearts and minds of those close to you form bitterness and potential revenge."

This is a quote from "EliteOne" from another thread earlier today.

( the current religious thread if you are interested )

Agreed, my friend.

That is not your weakness ,but u have to be a good judge to handle the situations otherwise peoples will consider you a weak person.

Good ol' Buddha

I don't think to forgive is a weakness it is a quality that makes you stronger.

Some people hurt you in your travel through life or you can hurt somebody too without knowing it.

I've learned to forgive and move on, even those that won't forgive me I forgive them for not forgiving me.

Life is about lessons good or bad but to detain your heart with
hatrage, spirit of vengeance is not healthily. Just let it go new horizons will come into your path.

No, I also do the same. If it is a weakness, then I will be grateful for it.

sounds like you are pretty strong to be able to forgive when hurt. It seems as if you need to say "no" before you getting hurt. Make sure your wishes are clear and then they will be able to be met. Otherwise it may not be their fault

Well said.

Nope cause I think you're a better/stronger person to forgive someone.

Absolutely Not

It takes great strength of character to forgive

A quality i would love to always have, but for some i just can't

you are not weak at all

it takes a lot to forgive people



i try to forgive anyone that hurts me but i dont let them have the chance to do it again.

the ones who are weak are the ones who constantly allow themselves to be taken again and again

not at all forgiveness is a great gesture and sign of maturity. however if people in your life are abusing you get them out of your life

Forgiveness is for the forgiver, not for the forgiven. Most who wrong you, in whatever fashion, will not care if or when you forgive them. You're lucky if they even care that they wronged you in the first place.

Forgiving someone for hurting you is like opening a cell door and allowing all the bad feelings to float away and dissipate. You are then free to put that moment of your life behind you and continue to move forward.

You may never forget the wrong, but the forgiveness you freely give will remain with you always. It takes strength and courage to forgive. And each time you pluck up the courage to forgive someone for a past wrong, you become stronger.
