When someone apologises to you, the moment you answer "never mind", are you thinking of forgiving that person, or forgetting that incident?
Some people chose to forgive, and some people chose to forget... Please note that forgiving ain't the same with forgetting... Some people tend to only forget the incident, but not forgiving that person... And some people in this world, me, as an example, tend to forgive someone easily... However, want me to forget what had happened? Kill me please...
Just kidding... Xp
To me, it's just too difficult to forget incidents which hurt me in any form, especially the serious ones... It seems I'm so difficult to be friend with huh? Anyway, I just would like to highlight the truth... The truth remains, agree? =P Some people might be complained to be "siu hei" just because the other people found out that he/she still remember what had happened in the past...
However, the main thing is about FORGIVING!! Come on, just be honest to yourself... You've forgotten all the bad incidents that happened to you last time? The question would become really different if I ask: Have you forgiven the person? Perhaps Chua Hunt da bounzz is the only one in this world who forgive + forget... At least, apparently yes, haha!! He rocks~
There's another group of people in this world, who I known them as FAKERS, will forgive someone apparently, and backstab the person like nobody's business after that... Ok, I think I shall dedicate them a post next time, I don't wish to make this post to be too long...
So, which group you belonged to?

Talking about forgiving, it definitely led me to a famous bible verse... =)
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
God is there to forgive our sins, whenever we're ready!! Thank God!!

There is also another Bible verse that I've came across (have forgotten which verse), that says that God do forget our past whenever we ask for forgiveness too. So, I think it is good for us to learn also to forget what a person had done when we forgive them at the same time. =)
I've learned how to forgive after reading a true story called Murder by Family, by Kent Whitaker. I don't know I could forget.
I guess depending on what it was, I could decide if i could forgive and forget. Either way I know I could forgive, but I think it would be hard no matter what to forget.
In this book, Kent's son murders his wife and other son. It's an emotional read for sure, but you really learn something from this book, and I really think that's the purpose of him telling his story.
Actually Jason, we do learn from the Bible that we should forgive but not forget our brother's mistakes..the thing is why do u remember ur brother's mistakes? to get revenge?IF that is ur reason, then it is wrong..we need to be able to help our brother to become a better person..n also, if u forget, it means that u actually say, wat the person did is alright..
