FORGIVENESS

(126 votes)  To forgive is to not forget your past, but to be strong enough to acknowledge that it is what makes you who you are. Forgiving someone does not mean that what they did was not wrong or hurtful, it just means that you are capable of loving someone despite their greatest flaws. I am going to forgive, but never ever forget. The moment that I forget the past is the moment that I loose sight of who I truly am.
