Sorry, can't have one without the other...water only runs under the bridge in one direction. While forgiveness should never come with amnesia, it should at least be met with some newfound sense of ungrudging recall.

I'm a woman, I never forget. Forgive? It depends on the day.

We can and should forgive, but forgetting is a whole different story.

hard enough to forgive sometimes especially if that wrong is pretty bad. even harder to forget. those memories do not go away. I know something will happen to spark that memory even from years ago. maybe sometimes we learn by those incidents.

We can forgive but never forget, because we don't have a delete button to press on and erase the incident from our memory.

Because we're human, and we have a memory! Saying I'm sorry doesn't cover you most of the time. Human relationships develop over time, they just don't happen overnight. Likewise the growth of those relationships are impacted by events that affect it. Relationships in many respects are like a plant or any other organic organism. The seed is planted, and if there's a connection it sprouts and starts growing. From there, different events affect the plants development. A good climate helps in moving the plants growth along. But storms or fires might damage or even kill that small tree. The record of those events remains, even though time passes. The tree recovers, but the scar still remains as a record of those events. Relationships are likewise organic, they develop over time. Sometimes, something happens that threatens its life. Certainly the relationship might recover, but its difficult to forget. Relationships develop through collective experiences. Certainly one can forgive and move on, but still the past is the past. And there is always the potential that something big enough might happen to break that relationship, just like our tree can be killed by a strong enough storm or fire.

because we remember how much it hurts and we don't want to go through the pain again. it's self-preservation.

Because it's good to let go of the past, but it's damned stupid if you don't learn from it.

It's just human nature, sometimes it's just hard to let go of the hurt.

Forgive and you shell be forgiven, at least that what bible teaches us, but it sais nothing about forgetting. Many times we don't forget out of respect to ourselves. Sometimes it's good to remember.
