At the moment I do not have an event that I find myself not forgiving anyone. I have no problems with the people in my life and I can not complain. I am an extremely forgiving person so it is hard to find a past event to fit this response. I forgive easy but I do not give back the full respect the opposing person once had from me. I have been lied to and heartbroken but can not point out anyone in my life I have never forgiven. I do not think everyone is perfect so you can never expect perfection. I guess my “non-forgiving “manner is me not giving the full respect back the other person once had. I had a good friend who could not keep a personal secret I told him. I did not stay mad at him but our friendship was never the same because I could never bring myself to feel close again to my friend.
Soutpaw,
ReplyDeleteI can agree with you in that I never really have any problems with anyone either. When I do happen to have problems, they are so minute and not a big deal that I usually forget anyways. Although, I have had problems in the past that are larger, but at the end of the day, I always forgive the person, but I will never forget about it and what happened. It might not be the healthiest thing to do, by not forgetting about it, but I would rather forgive and not forget than never forgive. Great post!
Hello Southpaw,
ReplyDeleteI always start out this way, but I thought this was a very good post. I seem to always enjoy reading your blogs. Like you, I do not have any conflicts or have a hard time forgiving anyone at the moment. I think it says alot about your character that it is hard for you to think of a time where it is hard for you to forgive someone. Like you, I tend to forgive easily but I do not forget. In my response I stated that I did not fully trust my friend anymore even though we remained friends. Overall, I thought this was a very good post. Keep up the good work.
