Subject: BBS, I can appreciate your feelings about wanting to hold on to anger and resentment. I'm pretty easygoing and usually willing to forgive transgressions against me personally. But when someone close to me (especially one of my most beloved) is wronged, it can be very difficult for me to forgive. Mess with me if you must, but mess with mine, and the lion in me comes out.

[> [> That's my biggest stumbling block as well. Sometimes I can decide to forgive someone who has hurt a loved one, just for one day. Some anger runs wayyyyy too deep. For one day, even half a day, gives me a break from carrying all that fury around. I can't sustain it for some people. Just can't. -- Betsy BFS, Tue, March 29 2022, 6:08:36

[> [> [> Oh, I like that idea. Can I forgive someone for a day, or even a few hours to put down the burden for a rest. That's inspired, BBS. -- DianaH, Tue, March 29 2022, 7:08:50

[> [> [> [> And is it really forgiveness when a loved one says “ I forgive you but I’ll never be able to forget it”? When you forgive, can or does it go in the past? -- Kathy in PA, Tue, March 29 2022, 9:58:26

[> [> [> [> [> I believe it should be in the past. Otherwise It will be in the back of the mind and brought up at the most inappropriate time in the worst way. And gutting the person supposedly being forgiven. To forgive is to let it go - maybe for a short times until you let it go -- Margaret, Tue, March 29 2022, 16:01:09

[> [> [> [> [> [> Thank you, Margaret; that’s what I think too. It is “forgive and forget” right? -- Kathy in PA, Tue, March 29 2022, 16:13:07
