yes, I believe you have to forgive to move on. It means stop being angry about what happened to you. Forgetting means not doing it anymore. Forgiving someone does not mean you have to have them in your life again. You can forgive someone, and still avoid them, forgiving them makes that horrible feeling inside of you go away. Making you feel better, you may or may not tell the person you are forgiving that you did forgive them. That is up to you.

I think it is very important to forgive if you have been wronged. Keeping all that anger and hurt inside of us can cause sickness to our health.It takes a long time to forgive and mean it, but once you do it feels like a breath of fresh air. You will know when you have sincerely forgiven when you can look at that person in the eye and you don't even think of the situation any-more, but Ialso agree with the others who said never forget, but be kind to your-self and forgive. Take Care.

i do believe to have total peace within you must forgive,this is a very good question that people struggle with daily,if you believe the bible it says you must forgive, to be forgiven,if you hold sin against man god will not forgive you.
i have problems with forgiveness my self,because i say i forgive my ex-wife for cheating on me,yet i do not like to talk to her or have any thing to do with her,makes me wonder if i truly forgive her.i also think if you forgive some one of something and then they do it again that's your fault,so i guess i really don't know.

Forgiveness is accepting the apology of one who has done something terribly wrong to you. I do believe in it--and have forgiven many people for horrible things. It is not hard to forgive--but it can be very painful to forget!!

Forgiveness is the essence a violet gives to the heel that crushes it.
To me its not an art but a mental choice...sometimes rather difficult choice but truly necessary.

oh YES, YES, YES
it is a liberating feeling, to forgive everybody that had ill you in the past allows you to keep going....it allows you to be healthy physically, emotionally and mentally.
Trust me on this one, I know!
but fogive, never forget, and never look back.. and do not give more than two chances to the person you forgive...tops!

unfortunatly, i do. Forgivness is good when it comes from gods. But when you give it to someone, or if you are raised up to forgive people, then , those people will just rip you off all your rights, forgivness is addiction, once you forgive you will always forgive..dont do it...
