Forgive & Forget

Easier said than done. Don't you think so? Do you say I forgive you and when you meet that person the next time, you forget that you've been hurt?I don't think so. Maybe forgive, but not forget. A scar is a scar and it will always remain as a scar. One day, the scar might fade... but only time can tell how long it takes. Forgiveness is much more than just forgetting, much more than just not talking about it again, much more than saying 'its okay.' The real test of forgiveness is whether the relationship has been affected. True forgiveness does not affect the relationship.
My situation now is that I don't forgive but forget.
Any pin points for me?

my miss pumpkin,hold on tight to ur feelings...if u think it is worth to forgive her/him,then it definitely easy to forget..i know its very sick giving ppl too many chances and last, they just splash a pail of water..when u say u have forget but not forgive..then deep down,there must be some unsolved problems with urself or her...leave them away...like u said, forgive is much more than forget...actually they both can come together =)...think about it!

popjammerz: im havin a real hard time forgiving a friend...maybe i've gave her too many chances but in return she still disappoint me..she never try to put herself in my shoe...i finally decided to let go by forgetting but till now, i still have the little anger in me which have also made me realized that it is b'coz i never forgive her. The deep cut scar forever never fade no matter so many years has passed....

gin:i do want to feel stupid again by letting her know that i'm still her fren..but i just can't...cox ppl like her, never change! i still can't forgive

When we hurt each other,
we should write it down in the sand,
so the winds of forgiveness can make it go away for good.
When we help each other we should chisel down it in stone,
so that we will never forget the love of a friend.

Found it somewhere on internet... lol

yea. It's so hard to forget or forgive when we hurting by someone, a scar wil jz stay inside and it's so hard to erase it. Cuz i experienced it b4. All we need is time to forgive and forget. Life is fulls of happy n laughter, we should appreciate the moment we have now.

Dun think so much ok?Time will prove everything. You sure will forget it or forgive him/her someday.

I support u~
