Question

Are you a forgiving person? In your opinion are people more forgiving now or in the past?

Answer 1

Depends on the situation. I believe in the quote 'Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on ME." I can forgive but that doesnt mean that person will be in life. I'm strong enough to forgive a person thou.  I dont believe in having people in my life who did something bad, they will be forgiven eventually but Im not the type of person to have negative people in my life. More then likely since they forgiven they'll think they can get away with things. If they REALLY wanted to be in my life and if they were worth my time they wouldnt do something that needed to be forgiven.

"The only people I need in my life are those who can prove that they need me in theirs"

Answer 2

No I'm not, especially to repeat offenses.

I don't believe people are more forgiving as everyone is so caught up with their problems we forget our manners

Answer 3

i have had a lot to forgive from my past and im still working at it but it does always have a bad habit of jumping up and nipping you in the butt if not dealt with  but im getting there but im more forgiving now!

Answer 4

You have to forgive or you get stuck in the past and bitter- this gives you wrinkles. I think my generation (in their 40's) tend to still blame their up-bringing and parents for their own flaws. This drives me mad as we have had 30 or so years to get over it and s***w up independently. Younger people seem to understand about moving on better.
