Do you easily forgive someone? Do you forgive and forget?

[William]

No, they probably don't deserve it. That's just my opinion. Once a liar always a liar, once a cheater always a cheater, etc.

As most people said, it depends on the circumstance surrounding that particular action. If the person did it intentionally, then I may find it difficult to forgive. It also depends on the Person doing it. considering for example the mental health of the person committing the act.

It depends on what the person did. Don't expect me to forgive someone like Adolf Hitler or Osama Bin Laden. We all make mistakes because we are human beings and we are full of errors. However, this is not the case where someone intentionally offends you. If you can forgive them, fine.

I agree with you, it depends on what the person did. Did he hit you, I can forgive that, if he beat me I can forgive etc.. But if this has anything to do with my family, I would take revenge! I will not forgive raping, murder and torture. This aren't mistakes anymore, you have a big problem if you can do these things. It also depends on the person himself. I know some people that forgave a boy when he killed their son.

Even If God who created us all forgives then who am I not to forgive and forget? I try my best to forgive others no matter what. It is not easy. It is really hard at times but that is the duty as a Christian. You cannot forgive one person and hate the other. You cannot forgive one sin and repay the other. In other to gain salvation in the Lord, you must learn to forgive and forget

I usually dont forgive others too quickly, nor do I keep a list of them running through my mind for days. I think thats the way it should be, one should first try to ignore the one who has done a mistake and then if he continues doing it again and again, its time to pick up the stick. Else he should be forgiven as mistakes are meant to be made by humans only !

Well, as for myself, I'd have to say that I almost always forgive someone and for almost any reason. No, not always easy to do but, evenso, I find it will likely make things better in the long run. By all means, I'm not saying I could forgive someone like Hitler or Bin Laden (no way) but I could forgive those who make the so-called 'normal' mistakes that most people make. Granted, some mistakes are harder to forgive then others but, then again, so may be the lives of those who are making those mistakes to begin with. I guess you could say that when it comes to mistakes, I don't simply focus on them and them alone, I actually go in search of the possible reasons "behind" them. Usually, when I find what I am looking for, it makes it much easier for me to say "I forgive you."

Forgive and forget is the right thing to do but forgive and forget is the hardest thing for me to do for example if the person who has offended you shows no sign of sorry.

As many people have said already, there are some things you can forgive but there are other things even heaven will not forgive. If you steal my money, i may be able to forgive you and may be forget. If you steal my car or cheat on me, I may be able to forgive and forget but I don't think I can forgive you for killing my mother or for killing my younger brother. That is just unpardonable and I will work very hard to repay you.

yes i do if it a forgivable mistake . but in other cases, i simply stop talking to the other person and i may even slap the other person .. there are some fools who take advantage of my silence. and they really pay for what they do.lucky me , i know KUNGFU :P.i am good but cannot tolerate big mistakes.

[bodil4o]

Not everytime!
Sometimes you can feel when one person is really sorry, others just say they are "sorry" but deep with in that person she/he doesnt care about this and you can feel this too!

but in other cases, i simply stop talking to the other person and i may even slap the other person

And man I don't think this is the way :O

No, I don't. I'm the type of person that takes things to heart and more sereously. Well, that's what my friends say anyway. I disagree. I think I'm easly the most forgiving person I know. Hell, I guy once punched me in the face for no reason and I forgave him. If that isn't forgiving, then I don't know what is.

Forgiveness is not an easy thing to do. In fact, forgiveness seems the hardest thing to do. It is good to forgive and forget but it is not easy to forgive and forget. It is our duty to try and forgive and if possible forget but it is not easy. I try to forgive those who offend me though it is not easy to forget at times.

I try as much as possible to forgive and forget. It is not easy but it is the hardest part of forgiveness that usually brings the most blessings

It is good to forgive but it is not easy to forget. I try to forgive those I can forgive but as for those I can't forgive, I do my best to repay them.

I do tend to forgive very easily. I believe life is too short to hold grudges. I prefer to forgive and forget and move on with my life. I love my family and and my friends, and I would never forget that they are important to me, no matter what issues we might face with each other.

[Jayvader]

Well it depends on the person, the closer they are to me the more chance i'll forgive them quicker.

I don't know why i do that though.

^_^

I forgive those who deserve forgiveness but as for those who do not deserve forgiveness, I do not forgive them because they do not deserve to be forgiven.
