i do
Absolutely. It’s really difficult though
i forgave a man that stabbed me
i forgive but i don’t forget
My family forgave me long before I forgave myself…
when I could forgive myself… I was getting stronger then the head circus…
Now I can forgive others …
Wow. I still haven’t forgiven a lot of people in my life. Doesn’t mean I want revenge though
in a spiritual way i forgive because i know God is the high judge of all citztens
too taste the sweet i tasted the pain
That’s a really beautiful thought. I wish I was more like that
i offer up all to the heavens
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me”
what do you mean?
I thought about it you said you forgive but don’t forget. That quote I posted became popular from George Bush. Basically, not forgetting is a good thing. You don’t want people to take advantage of you.
That fills me with so much love. I’m slowly accepting that that’s what my mom has done, too. I have spent so many years apologizing, and every time she says, “You were never as bad as you think you were.” It’s strange how difficult it can be to accept forgiveness.
Some people don’t want forgiveness, or don’t think they have actually done a wrong, though. That’s where the problem lies with unconditional forgiveness and why I have sharpened my sense of forgiveness. I think it needs to be accurate to both parties in the situation; forgiving freely could be self-harm, really.
yeah you’re absolutely right. I have a hard time forgiving people who think they’ve done nothing wrong. I’m still not over a lot of people who have hurt me in the past. I think therapy might help me. I hope so
Yeah, when you forgive someone for some wrong they did, you are helping both of you.
Yes I do. It helps both people.
I would say I agree, but when other people don’t forgive like I do, I treat them like they treat me.
I can be a bit callous- I had a rough life growing up and it’s still ugly as ■■■■sometimes, more often than I would prefer.
