when to forgive others?

Question

I know that u forgive someone if that was the first time doing it.

Answer 1

I forgive people everytime unless it is something like murder or rape or something like that I won't, but sometimes people just don't realise what they're doing or who they are hurting.

Answer 2

Before they ask you for forgiveness and 7 times 70 is the biblical account of forgiving someone

Answer 3

Forgiveness should be given every time. Forgiving someone for something doesn't mean you have to like what happened or continue to allow it to happen to you again.

Answer 4

You should always forgive the person no matter what... Just think Karma is a B***CH!!! Just learn the difference between forgiveness and forgetting. Forgive yes...if they cheated on you they will do it again. Forgive but move on.

Answer 5

First it is important to understand that we all make mistakes, some rather HUGE mistakes, but forgiveness comes from within the hurt/wronged person, depending on the offense and their love for the one who hurt/wronged them. Weigh all the pros and cons carefully, think of life without that person and how it affects your life, if this mistake was a one time offense, try to forgive, and in time you may even forget, but if that person continues to repeat the same or even worse "mistakes" it might be time to rid yourself of that person for your own peace of mind. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 6

You should forgive others for your own sake, not theirs. If they continue to act in a way that bothers you and they don't change after you talk to them, then find other friends.

Answer 7

if they really are sorry and it was their first mistake, i think you should forgive them, every one deserves a second chance
