Yes exactly!

Still I wish I could cut ties the way some of you guys sound like you can.

agreed - and it also depends on how close that person is to me.

I don't have time to pack a grudge...too busy packing a gun...lol..best way to get over someone doing you wrong is to kill'em, second best, since the first is morally wrong, is just to be pissy for a while, then forget it and get on with your life...

that is humor..right?

for certain..last part is all that is true

I'm pretty simple when it comes to any thing small..no problem.
I am more hurt and bothered if its an issue of trust, or love.
I NEVER forget THOSE,,and some can have three shots,,and for some
only the ONE that they screwed-up already on....
My anger, hurt and feeling bothered,,,leaves quickly.
And forgiveness happens easy inside my heart, yet to THEM, it is NEVER forgotten,,,,as THAT stands for their TRUTH of what they did..
Its kind-of like loaning out some cash to a friend,,IF they never pay you back,,then ask you again to borrow some,,I REMIND THEM,
of what they had FAILED to do...
Anyone can get over me the first time,,,on about ANYTHING.
TWICE,,,,,won't happen....including lies....

cool, T thought so...I don't think there is anything morally wrong with being pissy for a while...better than shooting someone.

i forgive people that make a sincere effort to be forgiven

and i would like to be forgiven if i make the same effort

however, there is less genuiness and less patience nowadays..

so i forgive less people, and less people forgive me


so be it...

roko

lol...whoops...I meant shooting was morally wrong, being pissy for a while is just human nature

I do not forget. I do not forgive.

If you are looking for forgiveness, take it up with jesus.

I am referring to adults. Kids will screw up. Adults know better and do you dirty anyway. If you wanna forgive them, that is your business. I won't.

I'll forgive anything...to a point.

Sometimes you just have to open a can of whoop azz.......

So then you don't expect to be forgiven when you make mistakes, right?

Always forgive for self and planet ... Limit the toxicity ... Health/Spirit ...

... Happy/Healthy/Whole ...

Still, I do believe it is a supernatural blessing prayed down daily, as if clothes ...

We aren't perfect enough to produce it on our own ... imho ...

Our hardwired mammalian instinct teaches to never forget ... Esp. when the person that burned is not repentant, nor regretful

Fire burns ... ... I keep great distance after burned ... RED RUM!!!

My mother recently hurt me very badly. I was furious with her. It was the worst fight we ever had. She sincerely told me she was sorry for what she had done. I forgave her instantly.

I have no trouble forgiving people and I pray that I will be rewarded for that by being easily forgiven when I am the one in the wrong.

Lori, this is a great point.

Since I am of the same belief as Krupa - I have to look myself in the mirror when I read your question.

Even when applied to me, I believe the old idiom "You made your bed now lie in it".

As much as it would crush me if I hurt someone - and they chose NOT to forgive me - I would respect that corollary since I live by the same rule of thumb; otherwise, I would be guilty of a double standard AND be a person who doesn’t accept responsibility for her actions. The word 'hypocrite' comes to mind.

Live by the sword; die by the sword.

Not sure mistakes require forgiveness LL. If I answer wrong on jeapardy, that is a mistake......if I steal panties from your panty drawer, that is intentional.

I don't expect to be forgiven for doing the wrong thing.

Besides, try forgiving me when I fart in a crowded elevator as I laugh about it. Cause you will need to forgive me again on the way back down too.

Many times, so, many times ... ... Such truth ... If tricky to impossible ...


Karma is a great invention to at least hope for in the meantime ...

I have had issues in this department.

I was passive/aggressive about things so it would appear that I had forgiven and forgotten but I was punishing in sly ways for the hurt and pain I still felt.

I now forgive for me. So I don't hold the anger, frustration, etc... inside and become a bitter monster while holding onto the grudge.

If I forgive and they do it again then I just shut them out of my life. They will be forgiven again but they will not be given the opportunity to do it again.
