time4fun4u: I am a very calm,logical person.If someone does something to me,i will not in any shape or form let it affect me emotionally.I will mentally just cut them off,and have no contact with them. So,for me,its not a case of forgiving,its a case of erasing.
I guess it is based on circumstances but i wonder if i am sometimes TOO forgiving. I tend to forget any hurt that has been caused and want to make amends. My view is life is too short, and i wouldnt want to wish harm or bad meaning on anyone..
Your views?(P.S... this is my all grown up n sensible thread)
You have to find the balance depending of what you forgive, how much, which way and who you forgive.For example to forgive some ppl for them is the worst punishment...

Can you forgive and forget?

For me, if someone has treated me badly, it is not really a matter of forgiving &/or forgetting, it's a matter of I just don't want them in my life. So, they are gone, no long part of my life. Real friends don't treat you badly or hurt you. A partner, if it is a good relationship, will not do something to hurt you, not intentionally or thoughtlessly.

That's a pretty sound philosophy. It's a waste of precious time remaining bitter. In the end you only hurt yourself!

Yep,forgiveness is the best way to heal your own hurts and time will help you forget.
If you don't forgive you will never forget and the pain stays with you.
