everyone makes mistakes in life and forgivness that comes from the heart is real.  |

I don't know, Lilli.. I've often wondered the same thing. Why is "sorry not good enough" sometimes?  |

well for me, I will give someone a second chance, and maybe even a 3rd chance, but if they keep breaking them....I just give up. I can't trust them, and I won't forgive them...I have trust issues...so yeah....  |

Sometimes it just hurts too much that 'sorry' isn't relevant anymore. Everyone is JUST human, I agree. I will and shall forgive but the feeling of being comfortable ain't going to be the same like before the incident/argument. Sorry or no sorry is not the issue. It's simply the INTIMACY you have with the person has extinct and nothing will be the same. fullstop  |

I think it is easier to forgive if the the person is truely sorry and doesnt go and commit the same lie or behavior again and again. forgiveness is something that should be not taken lightly..not by the person doing it or recieving it. again, depends on the circumstances as you said  |

For the most part, sorry is good enough for me. Not always though. I've had people do or say something then apologize only because I found out about it. They weren't sorry they did or said whatever hurt me or made me mad, but were only sorry the "got caught". It's harder to forgive something when you know the apology isn't heartfelt. Also, if it's something really bad and could have been prevented it's harder for me to forgive. Some people just don't care who they hurt, ya know?  |

well, "I'm sorry" should mean "I'll never do it again". For me, an apology works. But repeat offenders are NOT sorry, so their apology is meaningless, to me.  |

What are talking about Lilliana?. .IM PERFECT! LoL, Ok, I'm joking! :o) *Far From Perfect* - But back to the subejct. It is really hard for me to forgive people and I think this is because I have just been hurt so much in the past. But I can't say I never Forgive..But I never forget. And I always have that in the back of my mind.  |

Scripturely, we can be perfect. But we will never be sinless. But we can be perfect. Big Difference between Perfect and Sinless. That is what the Bible says.  |

Think like Jesus, forgive and forgive again. When you stop forgiving then you just condemed yourself not the other person. |

thank you Radman. Hate is like cancer, it will eventually consume you. And, when we believe that thoughts are "living things", it takes on even new meaning. I have been guilty of attacking. I have been honored to walk away. Forgiveness is a virtue. |

I am a very forgiving person. I believe in just letting things go and move on. If you dwell on it, it will just make you crazy. I am so very far from being perfect, I have made MANY mistakes and some I do not expect to ever get forgivness from. I try to forgive and forget, my problem is I forgive but I have problems forgetting. I try to tho, I really do.. but it is hard. Nice post!  |

Sometimes they hurt you so bad the feeling will never go away. Let's say someone killed your best friend. You would have an empty space in your heart. because of them you could never see your friend again.... Thats how I figure it. If I am not hurt badly I can forgive. Like my school friend now told me I needed to die a long painful death. I still haven't forgave her for that. That hurt me and I will never forget it...  |

I forgive people pretty easily. I think it's stupid to not forgive somebody unless it's for extreme reasons, like, say, that person were to kill someone you care about. I don't know. If my dad's girlfriend went and got rid of my cat to the humane society or something, I'd never forgive her for that, even though she doesn't like the animal. I don't know. It depends on the circumstances, I think.  |
