Forgive but Don't Forget?

It is tough to say 'I am sorry' but sometimes it is even tougher to accept this 'I am sorry' from someone who hurt you. Because some things can't be fixed with a "sorry".

People say only the strongest can forgive.
Forgive and be forgiven.
Forgive but don't forget.

Forgiving is not forgetting, it's letting go of the hurt. But if you can't forget what's the sense in forgiving? Because it seems to bother you every now and then and trust is never the same anymore.

But then
in the long run, it's not a question of whether they deserve to be forgiven. You don't forgive them for their own sake. Do it for yourself. Don't let these people stay in your heart and mind for long. Don't be the prisoner of someone's mistakes. let it go. Feel good about it.

Forgiveness brings inner peace.
