There is a border between FORGIVE and FORGET, and i always pace back and forth between this two situations...
We need to FORGIVE a person before we can FORGET. If we cant FORGIVE, what they did, might hunt us for years(0_0), nightmares....But, to FORGIVE a person, we need courage, and yet this is the most difficult and challenging part before we cross the border to FORGET...
First, we will struggle, whether to forgive or not....Such as :
1) do they deserve our forgiveness???
2) why i should do so when im the victim???
3) even if im the one who forgive, will they appreciate???
4) can i just skip this step???
5) it is necessary ???
Hmmm, im a Christian, and i will choose to forgive for God so love the world that he gave his beloved son to us....We should love our enemies....(It reminded me when i almost fall apart or when i dont have enough faith)
Then, we will think about how to forgive....Love can be expressed in 5 ways :
1. Words of encouragement
2. Physical touch
3. Gift giving
4. Quality time
5. Act of service
(Well, im not going to explain one by one, you can try to google it http://yshean.blogspot.com/2010/10/5-ways-to-express-love.html?m=1 )
The reason i relate love and forgiveness is because forgive is a action to show that how much we love. So, choose the best way to express yourself...right approach will leads us to a better result...There is a chinese quote said that "forgive yourself by forgiving others".
Finally, we can cross the border and enter FORGET...Forget about how much it hurt, forget about how much we sacrificed....FORGET is a place to clear all our bad memories....just like how we format our computer...Delete those unwanted parts, repair the broken parts and renew some old accessories...
After we prepare ourself, leave FORGET and start a whole new life without hesitation, step out confidently, show how strong we are, dont let the past becomes a burden for us to live a better life...
HUH~~so surprised that i expressed my opinion here....While im writing this post, im reminding myself to be forgiving....I reminded you too right??hope so~~^^
