rohaan: Spot- on... I do think in public culture, such as the bar, other gathering places, regulars who know and like each other can “get over stuff” and play nice, so to speak...happens a lot around here. Big difference between being able to get along well and actually “forgiving”, and I think that’s what some people get hung up on. And, people who go on and on about their forgiving...hmmm...”methinks thou dost protest too much”...

Friskyone: I forgive because we all make mistakes but I don't forget and hope it doesn't happen again.

That's true, people make mistakes. Here's my thought about that.

You are driving in an area you are not familiar with. Before you left you asked someone for directions and they said turn left at the fork in the road. You see the fork ahead and are trying to remember.....did they say turn left or right. You take a chance and turn right. THAT is a mistake.

Your husband/wife cheats on you. THAT is not a mistake. It was a choice to cheat.

A mistake and a choice have different consequences. The one who was driving just has to turn around and go back to the fork in the road. The cheater has ruined peoples lives because they made a choice. That choice can't be undone or forgotten and for me not forgiven. The wrong turn at the fork was a mistake and won't be thought about again.

I can forgive and forget and I can forget before I forgive but usually, if i forgive and forget I don’t go back for seconds.
