When is it right to forgive and forget? Always? Never? Sometimes?

 

 

 

I'm sure it depends highly on the situation. Let's say someone important to you makes you feel really crappy. Sure they didn't mean to do it. What if they don't even realize what happend? What if they did? Should you tell them how you feel? Should you shrug it off? Can you think of an example of when this happend to you? How did it end?

 

 

 

I'm in a very forgiving mood right now, just not a forgetting mood :x

 

 

 

I'm not the subject here right now, forgiving and forgetting is.

For me, never. I might forgive, but never forget.

A case of keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

never really believed in the wesley snipes train of thought....

 

but uh... fight, squash it. then go back to being friends...

I don't forgive very easily. But if I do, I generally forget.

I usaly forgive and forget once, but if something happens again, i forget, and do not forgive. I will dislike that person, but i wont want to remember why.

 

 

 

Edit: after much thinking, I forgive and forget almost all the time except in extream cases, friends are better then foes.

One of my best friends pissed me off a few years ago. Didn't talk to him for months til the school year was over.

 

 

 

I can hold a grudge for a long time, but it always depends on the incident. I can also forgive within a few hours. Forgetting is the same, it depends on the incident.

It depends on the severity of the situation really, in most severe and very rare cases i neither forgive nor forget. Meh most the time it's never that bad once you look over it, and I'm an easy going person most of the time, no point wasting my energy on grudges! :D

It's psychologically healthier to forgive and forget.

 

 

 

However.. it's all very well to want to do it.. but how do you go about it? The more you think about it.. the less you forget.

Don't forget; intentional ignorance rarely works out well.

 

 

 

Forgive; all humans are, well, human. And good, somewhere, deep down.

wow when u posted that i was watching blade... ka ka ka krazy

I forgive a few times... But, I never ever forget.

I have had scuffles with my friends in the past and I usually end up forgiving them. I never forget though.

 

 

 

I remember when I was in 5th grade and Carlos stole my beloved Yu-Gi-OH cards. :(

Same as with you and rick. Forgive, but not always forget

every morning i wake up i have forgotten like all the bad things people did to me i dont know why but i cant remember it when something bads happen :?

I'll always forgive and eventually forget but only if I get a genuine apology.

Actually, that's from 'Godfather' :P

I will never forget what someone has done to me. If they are in the wrong and I am sure of this I will not forgive, either. I will try to continue our friendship/relationship on better terms but if I've been wronged someone else can take the blame. O:) Lol. Anyway yeah. That's what I think.

 

 

 

Is it not easier to stand up to your enemies than to oppose your friends?

I forgive (Sometimes), but I never forget. I don't stick a Knoppix CD in my head and type "Wipe -kq /dev/file://memory/:c/mysisterpunchingme/".

Whats the point of forgiving and then not forget. Sure you have forgiven them, but then the past will always linger, and that will interfere with your judgment of a person.

i forgive and forget. i figure there is no point in holding grudges. O:)

Forgive sometimes, but I'm going to forget and allow the same thing to happen again.

 

 

 

Fool me twice, shame on me.

i forgive and forget. i figure there is no point in holding grudges. O:)

 

 

 

I wish it were that simple. But one day you'll find people remember everything you've done and will crucify you. And you won't have how to argue.

But if everyone learned how to not hold a grudge then no one would have this problem...

Just as if everyone stopped killing eachother, going to war, supporting Bush and eating fast food.
