(Cant imagine this getting many replies)
What is the worst thing that you have been forgiven for?
Hell, I'm at that point in life where I cant even see the point of holding on to grudges. (well, almost).
Still got some issues but trying my best to work through them.
But I'm well aware that I myself need forgiveness for certain things.
I say certain things and do certain things which impact on the lives of those around me, sometimes without me been aware of the full impact of what I say or do.
Have you ever been forgiven (or asked to be forgiven) for something that was ''unforgivable''??
Can't say I've done anything that ever warranted me to be forgiven....I try to treat people how i would like to be treated..nothing more, nothing less....the same, unfortunately, cant be said for one or two of my distant family and a couple of supposed friends.....and like other good folk here, have forgiven them, if asked, but I will never forget.
I don't forget things, but that's not to say I try to remember them. They'll probably fade away anyway as dementia sets in.
Forgive, yes, life's too short to waste it on grudges. I had a friend who spent years planning to sue his employers for something. It just ate him up; and then he lost. I don't want to throw away years of my life like that.
I think a lot has to do with just what you're being asked to forgive, some you can, some you cant, and I can perfectly understand Sqad, Minty, NoM etc saying that they never forgive, if ever wronged.....and never forget either.
