I am going to be controversial again and say it is not possible to forgive and to forget. We may forgive yes but we don't forget.
If we forgive somebody for something that he had done wrong against us and it all goes well for 30 years with no mention of the incident again it is not to say it is forgotten.
If that person commits then same injustice to you, even 50 years later, the first thing that will go through your mind is: He has done it again.
Just my opinion. I may be wrong.
kiss ad make up? yes
but forgive,it depends doesn't it
but to forgive aything NO NO NO
besides, as humans its not expected of us either.
I have learned to forgive but I never forget! The forgiving gets easier as I grow and mature but the forgetting - never!
Hope all is well with you ;
The theme here seems to not be so much about ego than trust...can a leopard change its spots?....hmmm...
I have the ability to forgive but sometimes it is immpossible to forget...depending on what was done...however, sometimes it is better to let it be...thanks for you comment!
Yes I think your right!!...forgiving yourself is the hardest thing to do...
The best part kiss and makeup...hahaha but some mistakes are not always forgetful...I guess that makes us human!!
Seems everyone has the ability to forgive but forgetting is difficult to do and not always possible...thanks again for your comments!
Thanks I am well...yes forgiving is possible but many do not forget or trust after...a rather human trait!!...but as I grow older I have been able to recognise that some arguments or disagreements are very superficial...and worthy of forgeting!!
Anyways, i like most the answer of Iota, Cat and Shay, I am with them. But a tad different..Forgive and forget, kiss and make up seems very appropriate for little things that go through lover's dominion and of marital petty things. Is it hard to do? I believe it is very relative to the weight of the incident. And the justification also comes into account. Mark Anthony on his speech for his best friend's death, that is never to be forgiven and or forgotten, and similar if death of a love one comes into play. Yes on the ego, it takes a lot of humility to give way to the crumbling of our pride. Now on a global scale as the irresponsible and mishandling of our funds by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, NO WAY, I can forgive that. Nor can I forget..the economic meltdown and global collapse of our society is by no means a mistake.
Personally, I do forgive easily as mistakes and shortcomings are events that are made of honest misunderstanding..Yet forgetting it is not that easy. But when I forgive, grudge is completely expunged and it is for the unburdening of the soul more than anything else.
Great blog my friend.
