You can forgive and although you may not forget, at least you are not carrying that unnecessary burden

Right, forgiving and forgetting are two different pairs of shoes.

They definitely don’t mix and match.

Erika, nice analogy. Forgiveness is a gift to both your victimizer and yourself. I was watching a show where a couple had an argument and he thought it was over. His girlfriend aptly said we just had a fight, we can move past this. So, if we don’t get in the habit of both forgiving and understanding our part, then we will be throwing too many relationships away. Keith

It is very important what you said here, Keith. Only if we want to understand can we lay the foundation for ourselves to genuinely forgive. And understanding does not mean accepting the attitudes of others, but accepting that they did not know any better. Thank you very much, Keith!

Erika, a lesson I learned as a manager is there are very few communication problems that are solely one person’s fault. Same for relationships. Keith

True, very true! And those who blame only one person are probably the most involved ones.

Maybe you should let a doctor see this because I can’t imagine that you wouldn’t be able to forgive😉

Haha, why thank you Erika. I did used to be like anyone else, ever pointing a finger and not looking at myself. Fear will do that, we don’t want to admit we could be in the wrong. That is admitting more doubt, more pain, more unlovable bits than we already carry…not realising, that ‘is’ what we are carrying that causes it all in the first place. From our reactions that is, not everything is ‘our’ fault. But…those ‘fights’ will still stir up our fear bits regardless. It is ever a habit to be ‘on guard’ whenever we encounter a tense situation and we then become a ‘reaction’, not a listener 🤗❤️🙏
