I don't know about you guys...but whenever I forgive, I certainly don't forget. As in, what's done is done. Unless you erase it off my memory somehow. When I've been hurt once...I'm usually not sure if i want to be hurt again. I dunno. For me, I find it easy to forgive. But most things, I can never forget (unless it was something sooo minor). And when i don't forget, sometimes my perspective on ppl change. I may look at ppl differently, if they did something to change the impression i used to have on them. But of course, I still won't treat him/her anymore differently; but jus in my head, I'd be like "So that's who/how he is...". Would i still trust him/her?...it depends realli. cuse iunno...I've had some bad experiences.
But definitely...always forgive, cuse the Bible said so. I've made tht a habit.
In Ephesians 4:26, "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry"...tht verse has always stuck with me. Nd I've made sure...tht never happens.

hi buddy ! :)
just something i stumbled across.
“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”
but yeah. there's so many verses about forgiveness. and how if we don't forgive others, God won't forgive us. or that we have to forgive our brothers seventy-seven times, which translates to indefinitely. or that we shouldn't even give offering to God if we have beef with somebody. we're supposed to lay the offering down at the altar, and fix everything and forgive our brothers, before we can offer things up as thanksgiving.
:)
forgiving does not mean you have to forget.
in fact, remembering will help us learn from that experience. mhm?
forgiving = good
forgetting = unnecessary
i guess, just don't use the forgetting part as a grudge or argument against the person in the future. cause that's not exactly forgiving.
if you know what i mean? eehehehe, i hope that makes some sense :)
tht makes sense. lol
in fact everything you guys ever comment about are pretty helpful=)
