To forgive takes love, to forget takes humility

I guess I'm not as loving and as humble as I think I am.

Forgive yes, forget well that depends on the severity of the offense
@Hanginginthere "Forgive and forget" is a very bad idea. Don't hold it against someone, but never forget what they are capable of.

@LordShadowfire that鈥檚 why I said depends on how severe it is
@Hanginginthere Actually, it doesn't. Here's an example of a mild one that I wouldn't forget. Say I told someone to meet me at a certain location, and they spaced it. I'm not going to be mad at them forever, or even for the rest of the day, but the next time I tell them to meet me somewhere, I'll send them a reminder. That's because I haven't forgotten that sometimes this person is absent-minded. Forgive, don't forget. That doesn't mean being a dick about it, because that would mean I haven't forgiven.
