forgivness ?

[themauler]

we all make mistakes through life we do things without thinking of the outcome..its especially hard when you hurt a close friend.
sometimes the things we do u may think to yourself is harmless until u get a slap in the face that wakes your ass up .
i have hurt a close friend of mine ,not on purpose nor were my intentions intended to be hurtful,yet they were all i can say is im sorry and i hope you give me a chance to explain..anyways do you believe in forgivness and would you forgive someone if they really tried to make amends...
whats your thoughts on this ?

Easier said than done.

[I forgive, but I never forget. Guess I'm a little petty like that, but everyone gets one free-bee.]

I believe forgiveness primarily benefits the person who does the forgiving. It's kind of selfish, in a way - it gives you that peace of mind, first and foremost, making you feel better. Self-interest and all.

depends on how bad the situation is,it isnt always possible to forgive someone no matter who they r,as comred said u can forgive but u never ever forget.so really in away forgive is just a word ppl use, cause deep down it still eats away at u and if u argue with the person u r meant to forgive it will be brought up,so really u dont forgive,and as i said it depends on what the person has done to

Forgiving someone isn't always an easy thing to do. Even if you care about them very much, sometimes the hurt is just so overwhelming that you need time to get past that pain before you can open your heart to forgive. As for me, I'm a very stubborn red head. I'd like to think of myself as forgiving, but I can think of 2 very different situations, both of which, it took me years to forgive. However, I do believe that forgiving someone is important. For me, holding a grudge and keeping the anger inside, hurts worse then whatever happened needing forgiveness. *Takes mauler in my arms and gives him a huge bear hug*

I think it's very important for us to ask for forgiveness from those we hurt and then leave it up to them to forgive or not. That's really all you can do. We all hurt people we care about sometimes, whether on purpose or not. My thinking is that it takes a big person to ask for forgiveness.

Awwwwww Dearest Mauler ...... we all do things we wish we hadnt ... and have things done to us that you wish they hadnt done..... And sometimes the forgiveness is easy its just forgetting ..... Some ppl do things that cant be explained ..... And they dont intentionally want to hurt that person but their unexplained actions do ... In the end ... its about trust ... Someone entrusts their heart and feelings in your hands ... and if you continually destoy that trust in the end there is nothing to give which makes it harder for the next person that comes along with the purest of intentions because there are these massives barriers that they have to break through ....

If you are truely sorry perhaps that person may understand or maybe they have been hurt with the same thing once to often ...

Time will tell ...

And sometimes if it doesnt work out .... you have to be able to forgive yourself for fkning things up ...

Life and heart .....

Offers you a hug and the person you hurt a hug ...

Forgiveness is easy if you truly care about the person who hurt you. My theory is this:

The Stupid neither forgive nor forget, The naive forgive and forget, the wise forgive but never forget.

I try not to be stupid or naive. One can always forgive someone because it takes a stronger person to forgive than it does to let resentment be bred. And taking into consideration it takes a big person to ask for forgiveness. If there is an absence of forgiveness, then there was no reason to ask for it.

But remember, sometimes you may receive that forgiveness, but, the hurt you have caused may never be overcome. Do not expect things to go back to the way they were immediately, if ever. Just work to regain a level of comfort you once had and rebuild from there. If they can not forgive you, then it becomes more their issue and less yours.

I guess it depends on the situation but for the most part I believe in forgiveness......I guess it also depends on good of friends you are to bein with....
