Can you truely forgive someone?

Question

I dont believe in forgivness. For example, i hear stories of how someone will forgive the person who killed their loved one, but i think that their lieing to theirselves. Or their trying to forgive, jus so that they can feel better. For me, i have trouble forgiving just if someone where to eat my last snack or something like that!!! Do you belive in forgivness?? and can you TRUELY forgive someone if they did something really horrible?

Answer 1

you can truly forgive and i know its hard. its just that time heals all wounds. u would never forget and trust that person but your forgiveness is what matters. if there was no forgiveness in this world, everyone would hold a BIG grudge and everyone would be against each other. would u want that?! the last thing we need is war! if it happened by accident, dont worry because soon, you'll look back and laugh and say why was i mad for this?! if it was an accident, like a murder, u still can forgive. if u want to live in a better world, everyone has to do thier part. if they have done something horrible, you should talk about how you feel and tell them that you will try to forgive them but u will never forget. if they do it again, u would still have to forgive because its one way where u can find good within ur self!

Answer 2

Forgiveness is a process that allows you to let go of the problem.It doesn't mean that the other person is off the hook. Forgiveness is also something very hard to do.You have to "practice"

Answer 3

I believe you can rid your self of the anger and hate . But, you will never forget what they did and not ever trust them again if you ever did .

Answer 4

Forgiveness is what a person does for him or herself.  It has nothing to do with the person that wronged you.  It doesn't deal with the loss or lack of trust, honesty, or soullessness of that other person.  

Sometimes people will say, "Forgive and forget".  Forgive for yourself and forget when they will do you no more harm.  For that to happen for the other person they will need to  repent.  That is what you're confusing with forgiveness.

Answer 5

well i think that it depends on the person and what they did to u ??!!!!

Answer 6

We need to forgive for those petty things that we don't have to quarrel with 'mindset' to win! But for those who did horrible things to us, like they murdered our loved ones, forgiving them on the basis of 'sinful soul' when THEY PLEAD GUILTY AND SINCERELY ASK US TO FORGIVE AND PARDON THEM, we need to accept that and must FORGIVE them, since it is not our weakness but one of the noble quality in human life! We need to adopt it, TO BE HUMANE TO FELLOW HUMAN BEING IS SUPREME IN THE ART OF LIVING!

Answer 9

Yes forgiving is a must in this life because, we as humans are always making mistakes of some sort, Most of the time we do not even know we made a mistake.. A simple sentence said improperly can , quickly hurt someones  feelings without your knowledge. Because of our flaws we must forgive others because if we can not forgive others , we will never be able to forgive our-self for the mistakes we make towards others, even though we had no intentions on hurting them.  Without forgiveness life is without hope, love and peace of mind. If you cannot forgive you will never experience  love and contentment. Your life will never be truly happy.

Yes forgiveness is possible, but you must be ready to forgive.  When you carry these negative and destructive feelings around, you are only hurting yourself.  You may have heard of the Law of Attraction.  Well when you hold on to these types of feelings, you are attracting more things that will cause you to feel that way.  Love, gratitude and forgiveness are incredibly powerful emotions that switch your point of attraction to bring you more things to love, and be grateful for.  Until you forgive you only hurt yourself.
