It’s only right to forgive
But it’s more difficult to forget,
And if forgiveness
Then becomes a default answer
Others will abuse it taking it for granted
After doing wrong to me and you
Saying that forgiving them is what we are expected to do.
Forgiveness can’t be taken for granted

Good afternoon. You bring up a dilemma I used to encounter until I separated forgiveness from forgetting. We mustn’t forget because then we wouldn’t learn from life, but we are to behave as if we have forgotten and give the person a clean slate to start again, but you also apply what you learned; there’s a higher risk than you initially thought, and you must adjust. So it’s not holding a grudge or payback. It’s doing better. Cheers and thanks for the inspiration.
