Two, those who had left you when you were in your difficult times.
Three, those who'd put you in your difficult times.
____________________________________________
I came across this so-called principle today and I immediately thought of the old saying "Forgive and Forget". So what are we supposed to do now? Are we really to forgive and forget a wrong that was done onto us? Are we actually CAPABLE of forgiving AND forgetting?
What about you? Are you the Forgive and Forget type or Forgive but NOT Forget?
I believe up till now, most of us has been 'hurt' or 'wronged' by someone close to us be it your partner, your best friend or just a friend that you thought you could trust. So what happens after you are wronged? Do you guys break off the friendship or you simply mend it? If you DO mend it, what happens next? You have forgiven the person yes, but would you actually forget what the person has done?
From past experience, I am the forgive but not forget type because I find it impossible to just slip this piece of memory off my mind. I could push it to the furthest corner my brain could store but it will still be there somewhere. If only my memory wasn't being such a scumbag during exams where my trusted motto applies: Study and WILL, MOST DEFINITELY forget. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.
My mom is the forgive and forget type because there are times when someone else brought up things that happened sometime ago and she has no recollection of that event happening so I guess the old saying does apply somehow, in certain cases :D
I am sure there are some among us who does NOT forgive and does NOT forget. I always find it easier to forgive someone for their mistakes but it has proven very hard to forget about it because that feeling of being misunderstood or blamed or victimized, it's much harder to store that memory away.
Anyways, back to today's post, it would seem that the principle stands solid for me. I am not able to forget those who has helped me in my troubled times. If I am able to that, I will label myself as a heartless bish and a A-Class Ungrateful person.
Two, I might just totally forget about the person that would ditch me when I am in troubled waters, skipping through the forgiving part conveniently because people like this does not deserve your attention nor sorrows towards them.
Third, WHO in the right mind would actually forget someone who TRIED to DROWN them?! You could forgive the person if it was done unintentionally (like kicking you full int he face accidentally when you tried to resurface and stuff) but would you actually forget? I don't think so! Morever so if it was done intentionally! You would be mental to actually forgive and forget such person lol -> at least that's my honest opinion :D
Well enough about me, what about you?
Enough of depressing post :D Some random coordinates throughout the weekend! <3

Thanks!! No problem!! Gotta help one another out <3
DeleteYour fish tail braid is beautiful and so is the back to that shirt!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so warm where you live!! I'm jealous!
I am kinda like you where I do forgive, but I don't forget (sometimes depending on what they did) I am usually easy to get along with which can be bad since I can be easily pushed around. Luckily I have people who stand up for me which is nice!
http://www.mybrokeneggshells.com
Yes! Having people to help stand up for us is a bliss!!
DeleteLol it look so cold where you come from, I am semi jealous because sometimes the heat just gets to me and make up literally melts after 2 hours QQ
Touchy topic, I shall refuse to comment more than this: "I used to think I was the forgive and not forget type, until-"
ReplyDeleteYou know me so well (more than I do myself sometimes), so I probably didn't have to say anything at all xD
Lol I guess sometimes what other people does affects us along the way
DeleteI think forgiveness is absolutely possible. Forgetting, not as easy. But nothing in life is easy, so if you want to progress, you gotta try, right? :-)
ReplyDeleteYour braid looks super cute by the way!

That makes the two of us then =P But at times I find it tiring to even try because it could be a repeated wrong, but I guess different circumstances call for different measures =P
DeleteThanks!!

ReplyDeleteThank you <3
Deletei am a forget bt not easy to forgive person ;-D is there such a thing? you mentioned right? so im one of those persons. im glad that I can easily forget those people who wronged me, because I swear i couldn't easily forgive them.

I believe everyone reacts differently to different situation so it's okay to be different because everyone has different choices! (abusing the word 'different') lol!
DeleteI try to forgive but NEVER forget. Not that I hold on to bad experiences, but if you do then you get screwed over and over - like you said yourself...
ReplyDeleteP.S.: The outfit from the last pic is really adorable.;)
Seems like we are on the winning track as many of us think alike! <3
DeleteThanks hehehe, it's a good find for that outfit for a very reasonable price too! <3
great post! i am the forgive, but never forget type of person too. it is especially harder when it is someone you truly are close to. i have been wronged and i have forgave but when there are instances that quickly remind me of what they have wronged me for, the emotions quickly come up and i never forget. but i learned that nothing good comes from always reminding them for what they wronged me for... so i guess you do have to try to forget =/
ReplyDeletesweet outfits and love the little braid =)
-xo.melody
You worded it exactly atune to how I feel ._. And at times though I know that there's nothing good that comes from reminding them for what they wronged me, at times the emotions really just screw everything up :< It's like a small voice at the back of your head constantly telling you to 'be careful' of this person but we shall all try hard!
DeleteThanks for dropping by, Melody! <3
Hi!, I just want to say that you're so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you <3 And thanks for following me! Do you have a blog that I could perhaps follow as well? <3<3
Deletewell, my precious aunt told me i should "Forget and Forgive" which i really did..
ReplyDeletebut when some times that thing just poofed of a sudden then you will still feel that hatred. then the next thing is you will ask yourself "am i really forget and forgive that person" some situations like that. Up until now, i trying to help myself of forgiving and forgetting type. maybe, i'm still stuck in "forgiving and not forgetting type".

Welcome to the club! =P
DeleteWith me, it depends. I am usually "forget and forgive" person, but there are situations that are only "forgive" :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the combi of jeans jacket and red skirt!
WorldByBella
Thank you! <3
DeleteHmm well it actually depends on the situation.. Of cours it's easier to forgive than forget, I've found myself in situations like that so many times. I always give a person a second chance but you always have to keep in mind what that person did wrong in the first place, don't be naive. People nowadays don't change so quickly lol >.<

ReplyDeleteAnd I really can't stand People3, however, I guess that People2 are even worse. There's a quote called "A Friend in need is a friend indeed". Well, you'll see who is standing behind you in difficult times.
Nice post btw!

Whoa that's a very nice quote, thanks for sharing Maho! Lol I do hope when I am ever in a difficult time, I can still fall back and there will be someone there to catch me
DeleteHaha! Great posting. Way to go, gal! :)
ReplyDeleteAllow yours truly to share my two-sen worth here. ;)
Yep, this forgive & forget stuff may sound like an over-used cliche, but it does happen to every average Joe or Jill on the street. You can put it down as part & parcel of our everyday life. It's there & it does happen, whether you like it or not.
I would say the majority of us will belong to the forgive, but cannot forget category, or may be you can use the 80/20 rule here. After all, we are all humans, right?, with feelings, emotions & all.
To be able to forgive is divine & healing, & set you free from past hurt & wounds so that you can spring back to normality & not being forever imprisoned in hatred & injustice & self-pity.
Bottom line here, just be positive & optimistic. Take a look around you. That's the main traits of all the successful people in life.
Cheerios! & Happy Chap Goh Mei to all who are celebrating Chinese New Year! :D
