Reply:Depends on what reason.
Reply:some yes.some no.It is gods words that says we should forgive others like he forgives us... no matter what the case is we should all forgive.
Reply:It is a very noble thing to forgive some one for what he did,and given an other chance.,the person could have remorse and feel that he should repent .
Reply:nope, it might lead you into the same bad situation you were in before. I think a little unforgiveness remains to remind us not to make the same mistakes and to not trust those same people. But it is noble to forgive when the offenses are something we could see ourselves doing if we were upset or thoughtless. But when it comes to abuse and lack of remourse for the pain that was caused I think that is unforgivable.
Reply:well....it does depend on what the person has done.we shud all remember anyhow that what ever a person does to hurt any other person cud be cos of the situation they r in.if you cud put urself in that situation and work it out its good.and also if you think they did it just to hurt you its good you forgive that person.cos if you r going to hold a grudge against everyone and everything then you are going no where in life.i believe if you dont hurt anyone no one is going to hurt you and also if they do, you can be the bigger person and forgive them cos that is very noble and only a person who is big at heart can fogive someone for something they have done and forget abt it also.its very imp u forget abt it.cos only forgiveness doesnt work unless its forgotten.
Reply:Forgiveness releases both the forgiven and the forgiver from the chains that bind two angered opposing forces as one. It is wise and noble then to forgive for the sake of one’s own peace of mind and the shedding of unnecessary and harmful emotional baggage.





Forgiveness of other should only be proffered if the person has made amends, righted their wrongs, admitted their misdeeds and actively and sincerely seeks forgiveness.
Reply:Yes ALL PEOPLE. By holding grudges you first burn yourself inside and harm your own person more than the person against whom you are holding it.Possible that the person may not be even aware of it + you dont damage the other person, you damage yourself.
Reply:Can you allow a poisonous snake in your house and allow it to stay in? You will fear that it will bite someone and try to search it and kill it. You can forgive anything but see that that forgiveness not bringing any bad result. In certain cases you can forgive but you must fly away from the spot at once. Remember and be careful.
Reply:Are these people asking for forgiveness? Are they sorry? Forgive them.





If they are not sorry and you come to understand that they are impaired and can%26#039;t, for your own sake, work through your feelings and forgive them if you can.





Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson, Mohammed Atta? Atilla the Hun? God knows. I do not.





To forgive is not to forget, but it is to forgive as much as you are able.





True and appropriate forgiveness with wise remembering is noble.
Reply:If there is no discrimination faculty,then only we forgive all,which is not an outcome of intelligence.
Reply:Forgiving is optional depending on your beliefs.





I used to believe in loving my enemy, but if I had a choice between offering my last coin to a good person (in equal need) who worked hard or a thief, I believe the good should be rewarded before the bad.
Reply:To err is human, to forgive, divine.


Get back to you on where that came from.
Reply:forgiving doesnt mean forgetting, one can forgive but still remember.





to forgive someone is not about what the other person did, but its if your strong and confident enough to face him again.


forgiveness is not about the sinner, its about you.





%26quot;to err is human, to forgive is divine%26quot;
Reply:it is easy to teach people... forgiving... but difficult when we have to forgive others....basically we forgive others not for them but to our own self....by forgiving... I can let go of my anger and my desire to punish..... It frees me to think about ways to make a difference... possibly allowing me to let go of past hurts and resentments.
Reply:Perhaps not %26quot;noble,%26quot; but... it would be right. To forgive someone lovingly, even if they don%26#039;t deserve it... That is a noble thing indeed. It doesn%26#039;t matter what they did, or if they even ask for forgiveness, we should forgive them. They may not change, but that is up to them.
Reply:It%26#039;s just smarter to move on and resolve to become less susceptible.
Reply:Do You Forgive as Jehovah Does?





“If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”—MATTHEW 6:14, 15.





“JEHOVAH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness. He will not for all time keep finding fault, neither will he to time indefinite keep resentful. He has not done to us even according to our sins; nor according to our errors has he brought upon us what we deserve. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, his loving-kindness is superior toward those fearing him. As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset, so far off from us he has put our transgressions. As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovah has shown mercy to those fearing him. For he himself well knows the formation of us, remembering that we are dust.”—Psalm 103:8-14.





2 Conceived in sin and brought forth with error, with inherited imperfections always trying to lead us captive to sin’s law, we sorely need a God who ‘remembers that we are made of dust.’ Three hundred years after David described Jehovah so beautifully in the 103rd Psalm, another Bible writer, Micah, extolled this same God in much the same way for his gracious forgiving of sins once committed: “What god can compare with you: taking fault away, pardoning crime, not cherishing anger for ever but delighting in showing mercy? Once more have pity on us, tread down our faults, to the bottom of the sea throw all our sins.”—Micah 7:18, 19, The Jerusalem Bible.





3 In the Greek Scriptures, the word for “forgive” means to “let go off.” Note that David and Micah, quoted above, convey the same meaning in winsome, descriptive words. To appreciate fully the amazing extent of Jehovah’s forgiveness, let us review a few of the many examples of it in action. The first one shows that Jehovah’s mind can be turned from destruction to forgiveness.
Reply:I think so, but it%26#039;s not so simple. Let me explain.





For starters, I need to know what you mean here. It%26#039;s easy to take %26quot;all people%26quot; as an abstract concept, and you can%26#039;t forgive an abstraction - that%26#039;s just pretty thinking. But if you mean everyone who%26#039;s done wrong - especially who%26#039;s burned *you* - then we%26#039;re getting closer to the mark.





Another thing: I wouldn%26#039;t forgive simply because it%26#039;s the noble thing to do. That%26#039;s focusing on %26quot;Oh, how noble I am for having mercy.%26quot; It%26#039;s not about you, it%26#039;s about the other person.





Also, I%26#039;m not sure *when* the forgiveness ought to come. My inclination is, the sooner the better. And it should feel right - if you still feel pissed off at someone, and you say, %26quot;I forgive you%26quot;, you haven%26#039;t really forgiven that person. (Remember when you were a kid, and you had to say sorry - but you didn%26#039;t feel sorry? Same thing.) If you can really get over the rage and say the words, with the intent of granting them another chance, you%26#039;re a lot stronger than me.





To those who brought up Hitler: not a good case. Hitler%26#039;s too remote to register on the emotional scale. Make it the a**h*** who just ripped you off, burned you, raped you, whatever. Make it family, that%26#039;s even tougher.





As for telling us to use judgment: forgiveness isn%26#039;t about judging who deserves it. None of us deserves it. That%26#039;s the point. It%26#039;s not about discrimination, and it%26#039;s not about you. That%26#039;s what makes it so damn amazing - and so hard, and so rare.
Reply:Honey it may be noble. You are really a much better person than I am. I put out %26quot;I%26#039;m over you%26quot;, but if someone pusher the right keys, I%26#039;m buzzing in my head with a smile on my face. One of my many weaknesses.
Reply:Forgiveness does not imply you become a door mat for future abuse. Forgiveness is often misunderstood. I have forgiven, wished the other well %26amp; meant it, yet did not continue to put myself in the line of fire. Forgiveness means I hold no ill will, I refuse to judge your reality by your error %26amp; see you perfectly as you were created, but I do realize that you have not wakened to your reality yet %26amp; will no longer be an instrument in your self sabotage. Sometimes I help others more sitting on my sofa praying for them or sending them Love than I do with face to face contact. I can not be of service to anyone if I allow myself to be pulled under water with them.


Many Blessings!
