Fortunately for me this is an easy one , due to my wee head and an accident 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

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.

Nelson Mandela
Did Mandela forget about his many years in prison?
