I Am Struggling With Forgiveness

Forgiveness is understanding that we are highly flawed creatures. Like a couple others said we don't truly ever forget. We just move on because it's exhausting to stay so on guard.

it's not easy...repetition is the way that i do it. Each time incidents or people enter my mind, I openly say "I forgive you"..of course, feelings hardly ever go away the first time i say this, but eventually they do..just takes time

Anything meaningful you will not forget. As far as forgiveness that is a personal thing. Whether I forgive or not I am not going to live in the past

Forgiving only means forgetting when's Jesus's behind it. When I forgive I don't see the need to forget, I just let it go and don't hold grudges

The only thing left in such cases it to try to see it in a different context.

And we can forget but not forgive. I find it a burden. Too much of that.

I once heard it said that women forgive but never forget while men never forgive but always forget

By not forgiving you are punishing yourself for something that someone else has done. Always forgive, but never forget. If you forget, you might put yourself in the same situation again..

I have no idea i was born with a natural abilty that wont allow me to hold a grudge gets annoying some times xd

Always forgive, never forget.

The problem is if you don't forget you'll keep hurting

You dont forget, you just forgive and then focus on other things.
