To Forgive is to Forget

To Forgive is to Forget

          How do you forgive? Do you forget about it? Forgiving and forgetting are two different things. How are they related? For me forgetting is the best way to forgive.

          There are reasons why we should forgive and forget.First, Forgiveness means that you've made peace with the pain, and you're ready to let it go. It's to tell others that you have moved on from the past.Second, we forgive because it is for us. If we forgive we would be moving away from the pain that we were once trapped in. Third, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Only a strong person can face pain head-on, forgive and release it. Fourth, forgiveness is also about forgiving ourselves. Guilt never makes anyone feel better.Last, forgiveness is the most beautiful form of love. Forgetting is also one way of forgiving. Sometimes we need to forget the bad things that happened and focus on how to fix it instead. That way it would be easier for all to move on.

        Forgiveness isn't that hard to give. All you need is a little courage and acceptance. Everybody makes mistakes. There are times where we have to accept and face the truth.
