    Do you forgive and forget easily, or is it some other combination of the events? I think I forgive easily, but do not forget.

    Yes, probably way too easily.

    I just can't bring myself to hold a grudge, even if I want to.

    It depends on what and whom is involved. I can forgive.. whether it's gonna be easily or not.. but forget never.

    I can hold grudges on people for a really long time.. if they've really hurt me, or someone I love.

    Nothing really makes me that mad, so I'm going to say yeah, I can very easily forgive and forget.

    like most people, i can forgive, but i dont forget.
    having said that, in the past ive realized that forgiving people = being gullible. people betraying u or making mistakes are very likely to do it again another time, so yea, i dunno if its such a good idea to forgive at all. i mean, forgiving people doesnt teach anyone a lesson

    lessons should be learned...not taught:cool:


    what I mean by this is it is up to the learner to learn...something should never be done in the hopes of forcing someone to learn....some people will never learn

    I forget very easily, but it is harder for me to forgive. It sounds backwards, but that is just the way it is.

    I tend to forgive easily. Eventually, I forget as well.

    It depends on the situation. I forgive easily, but it depends on a whole lot, like my previous relationship with the person, the severity of the deed, the circumstances surrounding the event...I put great thought into grudges.

    I easily forgive and forget to a certain point. If somebody wrongs me often enough in real life I lose all respect for them and I treat them like an idiot until they prove to me that they are worthy of my respect again.

    I forgive and forget.

    But sometimes I have to stew in my anger for a while.

    After that I think it is silly to stay angry at someone.
