Can you honestly forgive someone ?

I can.
I just have to get out of my ego and look at it from a higher perspective.
I definitely can.

Forgiving is not my goal but I do forgive when I am able to understand. When you forgive a child you also try to explain to them why they misbehaved. This implies a meeting between the aggrieved party and the abuser, which is not always possible. Forgiving every foul deed makes no sense, we should make sure the crime is not repeated.

I can forgive. I don't forget.

I'm not sure I agree with that quote. I think forgiveness is earned. Love has nothing to do with it.
I'm not going to forget. If protecting myself from future problems with someone means I lack humility, then so be it.

I have the capacity to forgive almost anyone… but never myself.

Forgiveness is a gift not everyone deserves. If you steal a dollar i can forgive ,if you steal my childhood no way in hell.

I agree with Mother Theresa. Humility allows one to see the whole picture. Forgiveness doesn’t ensure the person stays in your life, but the process leads to greater understanding and growth - not to mention freedom, for as long as one holds a grudge it has power over them.

To be able to forgive means that they sincerely have reached a point where they regret their previous doings. To forget barely means to be able to move on for yourself, without having to give them any further thoughts.

Yeah, some things are easier to forgive than others of course, but nobody is perfect, so it’s important to live and learn. If you can’t forgive, you’ll struggle to hold onto anyone.

Some things i can but not all..
I forgave my stepfather for his reign of terror over us..
Ive forgiven a friend but its never been the same as it was.
The early trauma i can't forgive but for my own sanity I've gotten over it.

Forgive, but never forget.

Some I can forgive more easily than others.

I have forgiven, but I do not forget and i never give the betrayer another chance they stay out casted in the you were forgiven but never come back zone.

It depends. I may forgive and forget or I may never. A lot of factors, contribute to it.

Forgetting is important for you. While forgiving may or may not be important for them.

I believe in forgetting and moving ahead. I don't claim myself to be authorized person to forgive anybody, law of land and/or law of nature(Karma) will take their own decision. What is important for me is forgetting and moving ahead, when you truly forget, you no longer carries the burden of the past.

Yes. As long as we part ways. There's always someone else to start another charade.

Only if they apologize sincerely.

Yes otherwise it will eat away at you

Depends on the severity of the transgression. I won't let it get in my way. Example: one of the few people I'd call an "enemy" happens to now be an inspector in town. He's cool with me and I am the same in return, but lots of stuff went down between us a long time ago.

I really don't know how to forgive someone. I don't hold grudges but I also don't feel like I forgive when that would mean getting hurt again.

I forgive just about everything
I forget nothing
by default, I try to learn about everything there is to learn about

Some things you can't forgive but you can not talk about it and move on.

A lot of factors decide this.

Person
Context
Affect
Significance

In most cases I think so. But it may depend on the scenario itself.

I learned early in life that if I don't forgive, I hurt myself. Forgiveness has worked for me.

sometimes, more healthy for you than hanging on to the grievance. it can destroy your health

No. I wish I could. It's probably my biggest flaw.

Yes

NO

I will hold a grudge forever

I have forgiven some but i do not forget

depends on the situation and person

Depends on the negative action taken.

If one won't forgive themself they will always be dangerous.

Doubt it, and why should I?

When you forgive you forget.

Depends on what they did

Depends on what they did

It's almost impossible for me to forgive a cheater. I have learned in my life once a cheater always a cheater.

It takes time.

No

No.

Hatred destroys the soul and makes you bitter

I've forgiven before but I've also held grudges.

First, it depends on what was done. I can forgive, but even then I’m careful going forward.

I can't bring myself to forgive the man in the sky for making me look like Ratso Rizzo's ugly brother.

Not overnight but in time … yes 😌🌹

Forgive your enemies, but remember their names!

I thonk what you can do is let go of the hurt and anger youvhave towards them

I see that as a negative emotion that is damaging only to your well being. Letting go of that is more important than forgiveness.

In an attempt to work alongside them yes and to stop it from consuming me - but I never forget.

I forgive but I never forget
