I forgive freely, but always have difficulties forgetting. I think it's due to imperfection.

Sure. Before you apologise I may have even forgotten we had a misunderstanding.

Sometimes I have to consciously remind myself that this person wronged me so I have to be angry otherwise I will just forget.

I forgive, but I will never forget cos I need it to caution the same shyt from happening again. Once beaten twice shy. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. So I need the memories to trend cautiously.

I'm not trying to form a demi- god but I don't forgive easily. Even if I do,I don't forget completely cos I wouldn't ever want such repeating itself. We humans can only try to but we can't ever let go completely. In all sincerity, humans can never forgive nor forget. We just weren't created wit dat. We can only try.................#myopinionthough

Every time you forgive, you are relieved of what weighs you down. Therefore, forgiveness is a medicine to the human body/soul.

I'm sure u aren't referring to erring ish like murder of close ones. Seen, my own definition of forgiveness kinda run deep. Forgiveness to me simply means u r letting go and never to be remembered again even if dat same ish occurred and frm dat same offender. Now tell me,is dat ever possible?

I forgive easily but I don't forget as they serve as lessons for me on a long run.

And there are some things that I can't just forgive ,I will wait and if by any chance the opportunity presents itself I'll hit back with deadly precision and zero remorse.

I can forgive but no matter how hard I try to forget, I just can't...its human nature I suppose..
Re: The Word 'Forgiveness' And The Concept Behind It. Whats Your Own Definition?. by Nobody: 8:32am On Dec 28, 2014
To Err is human, to forgive is divine: Meaning only God Almighty truly forgives. In as much as you have let go some instances may still make you remember, for example, how would you easily forgive a man that raped you and wanted to marry your only loving sister? Or how will you forgive a cult boy who shot your only brother while in school and is searching for a job in your company?
The truth is we do forgive but we might later remember
