Being human

Can we forgive and forget...kiss and make up?...is that too hard to do? Will our ego allow us to...can others forgive and recognise we all make mistakes?

leah
Glad to hear it...we are human and it is possible!
It is not easy but, yes I do believe we are capable of it. hug

Yes, it is hard but worth it if we check our egos at the door!!
I'm the living proof that anythings possible ...banana

Too funny...so your right...anything is possible then!!wine

Nothing makes sense these days...it is hard to believe the news because of the bias that exists...just going to keep an open mind and my fingers crossed!

If I were Eastwood I would shoot first then ask questions later...too late to make up then!!...but yes I would agree with you...sometimes the white flag has to be raised and admit defeat or a stalemate...a lost cause..then run in the other direction!wine
wave Of course we can forgive, I find it easy. One can not
erase a memory. It is how we deal the memory that determines
how we will act. IMO.
Hi there LouLou,

Good to see a blog from you.

Yes, I believe people's eggos, waffles and pancakes can allow them a litle syrup and butter.

And of course, forgive and forget! I've had a few ex-GF's who have forgiven and forgotten about me. lol blues

Now, as for Kissing Make-up? I don't know about that. I once kissed a girl who wore too much make-up on the cheek, and when I did, it left a crater in her cheek and pancake mix powder on my lips, nose, chin and eyelashes.. lol. laugh

Okay, just kidding with you, but sincerely, I do think people can agree to disagree and/or just move forward.. and realize that no one is mistake free, or without flaws.. and try to get along with each other as best they can.

Have a nice day.. and keep on smiling! hug
LOULOU,
Run for the hills. laugh
Why do you ask tell us what you did? dunno scold
rob
Always nice to hear from you and your bad humour!!!...just kidding...lol
But I think you are right, we try our best...unless you makeup with the wrong person. Cheers!!wine

That sounds like a song...Iron Maiden...lol...

I am innocent...lol...it's just a question about human nature...haven't you held a grudge or let your ego get the best of you?...for me...I have made plenty of paux paus...too many to mention...but since I am older, I have recognised that I cannot sweat the small stuff. My parents are getting older and who else can you count on if you don't have the ability to recognise that sometimes arguments are silly...life is too short!!
Hello Lou,

I think it is important to forgive also. It really does make life miserable to carry a grudge. From my personal experiences, some mistakes take a little longer than others to forgive.

Yes, in some instances forgiveness takes awhile...it depends on the situation...and I agree, it is not good to hold a grudge...it makes life difficult and hard...sometimes you may have to be the first person to say I am sorry, leaving your ego a little bruised...
One more thing LouLou,

since you mentioned my bad humor. grin

Did you know, that when the ole WAH WAH peddle was invented for guitar playing, the inventor got the idea from hearing Charlie Brown's teacher talk in the TV cartoons? "Wah-wah wah-wah" professor

Yes, this is completely unTRUE. lol

Okay, sorry to change the subject for a moment.. I hope you can forgive me.

Carry on with your blog subject.. and enjoy your day! guitar
I know some people who don't find forgiveness easy. And to be Honest I think they all have a bitterness about them. Not a sceptical outlook, but a real distrust of genuine goodness.
I found myself turning that road a way back and got ulcers for my troubles. dunno That was a game changer. thumbs up
rob
Wah Wah...lol...
I have been known to forgive and work through things almost to a fault. I think that only a very few maybe one or two that unfortunately crossed over to a place I just could not go. It was even hard but I knew I had to leave her far behind, that was my first wife and after too too many deceptions and heavy drug use. And even with that I had tried many years to help and to be patient. But I do think that there are many that will not go to the point of admitting a mutual conflict and then to work through it. It is almost like the ultimate test and if it can be resolved in a true and genuine way that a very strong bond can emerge and be a true strength.
Loulou very true your reply, however there are some things can never be forgotten. Some things cross a line of no return. wave
non
Grudges or distrust are horrible feelings and ulcers can result in those bad feelings...a kind of anxiety...not a good thing for sure...I have always tried to understand others...nature of my job...and this helps...as long as you don't end up being played for a fool!! That being said my glass is half full...most people are genuine!wine
The shortest answer would be ,some can,some can`t
But your headline leads me to a much deeper question " being Human"
tho its not stated as a question ...
Should we as human beings ,forgive and forget ??? should we as human beings intentionally hurt someone ,hoping that it will forgotten and forgiven
are we really honest when we say" all is forgiven and forgotten"
have we actually cared if all is forgotten and forgiven ...
dedo
Some things can be forgiven...but as someone here has stated our memmory of an event may prevent us from being genuine at saying we forgive...too soon these words are spoken without much thought...so I guess it would be best if you are sincere. Sometimes I think people say I am sorry or I forgive you, because it is the right thing to do or so they think...
white
Why don't you share you experience of what you mean by that...interesting thought...
rob
Hahaha...wah wah wah...lol!!
Loulou in a rush right now but it may be a good topic to open my first blog with. Meanwhile ill study the old timers blogs for a bit of knowledge, gee i hope i can learn something.wink rolling on the floor laughing wave

Carry on my wayward son...
Life revolves in between "what should be and what it is." The rhetoric goes on and on. There is and there will ever be, a constant struggle, though we forgive and forget, but something remains lingering besides. What we forget is shifted from the conscious to the sub-layer. So forgiveness with forgetting is faulty. Ego doesn't permit forgiveness. comfort cool
Hi Loulou, handshake

If it was so easy, you wouldn't find so many divorced couples.

Take care Loulou. wine bouquet
iota
so are you saying one can forgive???nooo
I would go with Nonesmocker answer that seems objective handshake I am forgiving person but I also rase white flag when there can not be improvement as it's better to move on when situation has no hope of resolving differences than to be stuck with the same repetitive issues that shows stubbornness of one way street but with people who consider two ways street it's easy to reconcile human errors and find middle ground of give and take bouquet
dela
I like your attiude!!
enigma
Thanks for your comment...yes I agree, sometimes it is not worth it...you need to assess the situation and in some cases...turn your back and move on..,it is the only sensible thing to do...
Hi Enigma,
Thanks for the vote of confidence, bouquet
For myself this is, I can forget something and carry on with person as if nothing has happened, forgive that is another matter. Whatever caused the upset must be put right, I do not unconditionaly forgive. But because I can forget it does not upset me at all, it is up to other person to earn my trust and forgiveness if that is desired. If not then I just go on as if nothing has happened but for sure the trust is gone.hug
yes one forgives after a genuine approach but doesn't forget, after all everybody needs to be easy and restive barring some exceptionally rigid and revengeful.peace
Forgive and forget is possible but the kiss and make up not.... especially when the same thing happens over and over again. It has more to do with trust than ego. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me...so there better be not a third time.
