Some people can forgive, but not forget.

Now think of this scenario:-
How can you forgive but not forget, You cannot only one, it must be both, or none...

roll eyes blushing wink wave conversing crying blues sigh uh oh wow cool frustrated mumbling very mad grin

Fortunately for me this is an easy one , due to my wee head and an accident laugh I forget everything , been that way since I was a wee barra .

But saying that ....... I've forgotten & forgiven 12hundred million times and It's taught me 1 thing . Those who tell you not to cast up are the quickest to turn on you . I learnt that one the hard way ........ a few times now . Now I trust no one and I like it that way bouquet

We all have our own history to refer to in all our decisions...Do you have kids...Do you forget them too...?

Of course you can forgive without forgetting.
In fact many acts of forgiveness come from the most unforgettable experiences.
To forgive is to be set free.

"As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison."

Nelson Mandela

Did Mandela forget about his many years in prison?

I think not.

Sorry but I didn't make that connection till you mentioned it.

Not that it should matter, the quote is still as valid.

I would say, from what I have observed:-

They know exactly what they are doing, and just using the quote from the Bible as an excuse...

They believe:-
If they do something wrong, and say sorry...there is no wrong anymore...Easy!!!
