Forgive or Forget?
May. 15th, 2007 03:03 pmFolk wisdom tells us we need to either forgive or forget.
Since I find it very difficult to forgive I usually opt to forget. Of course, I don't ACTUALLY forget. Rather, I choose not to think about the specified occurences when going forward.
Which method do you prefer?

Though ... there is ONE exception to that, lately; a guy who really has put out a lot of slander about me because I'm poly, and misinterpreted a lot of things that I've done, and spoken for people who didn't want to be spoken for. I don't feel the need to forgive him. I'd just rather he not be involved in my life. I guess that's forgetting rather than forgiving.
