Forgive and never forget?

Question

What does this mean to you , are you that one who forgive and never forget?

Answer 1

I believe in totally letting go. What is the point of ‘forgiving’ if I’m still carrying the load of remembrance around. That aspect of not forgetting will continuously steal my peace hence facilitating resentment. If I say I forgive, then I should be able to forget. Prayer usually helps me with this and God who is my peace that surpasses all understanding sees me through. I do not like keeping grudges.

This what we call inner peace treying to let go of all the bad memories , but from the other hand there is things that we can't forget not from days and not from years .

There is things that maybe we can forgive but we keep it in mind forever.

Answer 2

To me, it literally means what it says. Yes, I forgive but I don't forget. Me forgiving someone is for my own peace of mind, but that doesn't mean I will forget the wrong that has been done.

Same as my answer. It may take time to forgive someone because what they've done to us is deep and already be careful to him because of his mistake to you

Answer 3

This means that in time you can forgive others or someone for what they did you sooner or later but forgetting that incident or situation will take time even years forget it will depend on how hard the impact of that situation is in your life. Maybe you can forget the whole details but you will never forget what that is or those people did bad to you in the past. 

Answer 4

Well for me I believe in total forgiveness because if you have forgiven someone yet you did not forget what the person did it simply means that you have not forgiven the person because whenever you see the person you will remember what the person did to you.

It depend also on what happened and if you have the ability to forget before you forgive, because as you mentioned maybe you forgive and when you meet the person you remember what he did.

So if this happened then it is not forgiveness.

Answer 5

Forgive and forget is actually a saying that teaches people how to let go of the fact that someone hurt you and move on with that person without thinking of the past.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Creo los en la vidavida, y para mi el perdonar se trata de cerrar un ciclo y sacar todo estoel que nos hace daño, cuando personas o olvidas lo qurque lastimó en el ayer, pero si sacas de tu vida el daño que te causa. Ese sentimiento negativo que sientes cuando lo recuerdas; es mejor sacar ese sentimiento y cuando vuelvas a recordar esto te de lo igual porque ya fue superado.

I think in some cases you can forgive but never forget that someone hurt you in a way that you can never forget.

Answer 10

Psychologically, it is not possible to forgive and forget, all the suppressed information is pushed to unconscious mind. This means that it is not easy to remember but once there is a trigger, the information can be retrieved. That means along the way, when you come across the same or encounter the same experience again, it is likely possible to remember. In my opinion, when we talk about forgiving and forgetting, it has a deeper understanding. That even if you have forgiven, you have let it go and do not have any grudge with that person anymore. You can continue with your social interaction but in many cases, there is always a limitation that makes you not to grow, simply because you have not forgotten at all. Can you actually tell me that there is someone who who has forgiven and completely forgotten and can not remember the wrong the other person did at all. For me, i find this hard to believe.

Answer 11

To the best of my knowledge "Forgive and never Forget" means you forgive the offender, but you can never forget the offender. It just like u were poor last year and this year you became rich, you been rich does not guarantee you forget u were once poor but still you don't wish to go back poor.

Answer 13

Forgiving and never forgetting can mean different things to different people. For some, it may mean that they forgive the person who hurt them, but that they never forget what happened. For others, it may mean that they are able to forgive the person and move on from the hurt. Ultimately, it is important to remember that everyone's experience is unique and that it is okay to take the time to process and heal.
