Personal speaking, I can forgive easily but cannot forget easily. It is best to take time and not to be forced of doing these things.

It is not easy to forgive or to forget. But when you forgive a person, you allow yourself to be the larger person, to just accept that we are not in control of the wrong doing that happens to us, that we're robust enough to help ourselves when other people go away, that we are able to be there for others, constantly. When you forget about you also overlook the cost that man or woman introduced for your life styles and what you found out from them. We may additionally eventually forgive that individual however never allow yourself neglect the ache, the hurt, the suffering they placed you thru, And if they simply count, they may stick around  when you treat them like they treated you. That's why they say, forgive but never forget.

I agree. If we do not do this, it will only add up to our stressors in life. Besides, we cannot hold or control others to behave appropriately because it might be their real personas.

Yes sometimes it’s very easy to forget and yes it’s also very easy to forgive but it’s more easy to forget than it is to forgive

At first, it is easy to forget for me. Nowadays, I prefer to forgive those who committed sins against me. I do not want to overload my heart with hatred.

Yes. It is true you can easily forgive someone but to forget what they did will take time. It depends on how big and deep they did to you. Sometimes it takes weeks, months, or even years. All we can do is just pray for those who have hurt us for us to become at peace and enlighten the mind of the other party to realize the things the person did to us.

I agree that it will take time. The deeper the impact is, the harder we cannot forget it. I had experienced this with my evil relatives.

You can easily forgive someone if you forget that easy, thus forgetfulness is much easy next to forgiveness. To forgive means to forget, because you can't forgive someone if you can't forget what they did. To forget is not easy but it always comes first before forgiveness.

I must say that I can forgive easily when someone did something bad to me and I can forget him or her forever. It means he or she will be out of my life for good.

According to me, it is not at all easy to forget anything a person has done to me.But i can forgive a person for the injuries he has done to me over time.Because time is the best medicine and powerful tool given by God to forgive the miseries in life.

I do think that forgetting bad things is not easy to do. It needs time to heal from within. I can forgive because I pity those people who betrayed me.

To me it's easier to forgive , I can forgive you but I won't forget as long as I don't lose my memory and I'll take caution, you know what they say "once a snitch, always a snitch". Since he has don't it before he can do it again, I'll be careful with the person henceforth.

It is human nature not to forget full if things are out of hand and it created a big scar in their hearts. I know that time can heal those heartaches but it should not be forced to do so.

It depend on the situation and what happened to forgive and forget , but there are things and mistakes that it is very hard to forgive for, and also very hard to forget. Maybe one day we can forgive a person for doing something that hurt us, but we will not get back to talk to this person and we will never forget what this person did.

If you break a glass can you fix it? sure no .

I agree. A perfect example is my evil aunt who pestered our lives before. In the end, my family and I decided to cut the familial tie with her.

While it's best to not be a grievance collector or dwell on past wrongs, only fools forget, and only chumps forgive....by doing either you essentially negate the hard won lesson of your mistake.

Indeed. We need to set ourselves free from these stressors in life. Forgiving is fine as long as it is genuinely given.

It is never easy to forget, how can you even force yourself to forget something especially if it affected you. You can choose not to use that memory to despise or hate someone but you can't forget things like that. Some things just stick in our long term memory and there is nothing we can ever do to forget it. The best thing to do is to let yourself not get affected by the memory.

I do agree with you. It is difficult to forget things than to us especially if they were done deliberately.

For me, it is not easy to forget. I will forgive those people who hurt me, but they will be forgotten forever. It means I am going to cut the tie with them.

It isn't not difficult to forgive or to forget. Yet, when you forgive an individual, you permit yourself to be the bigger individual, to simply acknowledge that we are not in charge of some unacceptable doing that happens to us, that we're sufficiently vigorous to help ourselves when others disappear, that we can show up for other people, continually. At the point when you forget about you likewise ignore the expense that man or lady presented for your ways of life and what you determined from them. We may also in the end forgive that individual anyway never permit yourself disregard the throb, the hurt, the enduring they put you through, And on the off chance that they essentially count, they might stay close by when you deal with them like they treated you. That is the reason they say, forgive yet never forget.

personally, if it's something bad that they did to me, I don't want to forget it, because that way I wouldn't go through the same thing again and I wouldn't forgive either, if they fail me in that aspect I'm spiteful

Forgiveness is not really easy same is forgetting, forgiveness is a personal decision while forgetting is a matter of time but both can be achieved by first forgiving.

It is easier to forgive than to forget because once you have accepted the person, you already have forgiven him but that doesn't mean that you let go already of the thing that he has done to you.

Forgetting and forgiving can both be difficult. It is important to take the time to process your emotions and make sure that you are ready to forgive and move on. Everyone's experience will be different, so it is important to be patient and kind to yourself.

It varies from person to person and situation to situation. Forgiveness and forgetting can be challenging, but they can also be liberating and healing.
