Are you forgiving?

[sexyrussian]

You can say all you like about me but one thing I am is forgiving.I have had a few ABers apologise for their behaviour since coming on this website and I have forgiven all of them.If someone had done something terrible to me all they would have to do is say sorry and I would forgive them instantly.However I think most people find it hard to forgive so I was wondering.Are you forgiving?

[fee-is-me]

Ah, well if you are going to stipulate that to forgive=to forgive everything... i don't think you'll get many takers on that.

Funnily enough.

SR - You said earlier you would forgive anybody that hurt your family if they were GENUINELY sorry - well what if they weren't sorry and were a psycopath who enjoyed killing??

i could forgive most things but anyone that hurts my children i could not forgive, one of my so called friends cornered my 8year old daughter yesterday and really told her off for something she didnt do my daughter came home shaking like a leaf so scared she cried for a hour, i cant forgive that maybe im petty but i dont care when it comes to my kids.

Sexy in your question you have gone on about ABers apologising to you when they have been wrong that�s why I said about you not ever saying sorry. You cannot go on about others forgiving you if you cant see when you are wrong yourself and apologise.

I don't think that life is that black & white, SR.

If we are talking about petty arguments or squabbles, it should be quite easy to forgive. No way on this earth could I ever forgive anyone for murdering my child.

What is forgiveness ?

Is it something you 'do' to them, or a state of mind in yourself ? Presumably they have to know you have forgiven them for it to be of any use. What if you forgive someone and tell them you have, or forgive someone and *not* tell them. What is the difference if any ?

I think forgiveness is something you do inside yourself for yourself.

You cant say you are in the right, the same as the people that cannot forgive a person for it is in the wrong. It is a persons own choice. I myself couldnt forgive anyone that did anything that bad to my family, but I wouldnt say I'm right or wrong for doing that.

Hmmm... Don't think I could forgive someone who murdered my child. Kill them yes, but not forgive them. I guess that means I'm not very forgiving!

That said... in general terms of forgiveness without going to extremes (like murder) then I'd say most people are pretty forgiving. And there's that old saying about trick me once shame on you, trick me twice shame on me that pretty much covers most horrid ex's I find.

[PinkFizz]

Hi Loopy ,just got back from town.Yes I should be here tomorrow.Just going to post thread - im in foul mood!!

[Imp y Celyn]

if my girlyfriend left the top off the toothpaste, then I may forgive her, but just once and then it's a one way ride to dumper town. she might feel thesame about the toilet seat but i am well trained.

but if sharon stone came round my house and sat on my sofa and hogged my remote control for an evening, i'd say oi, sharon. you may be an international superstar of the silver screen most notable for flashin yer beaver at some coppers, but naaah, you aint touching me remote so gerrof and buy some undies you hussie.

so i reckon i am an unforgiving type.

[kipchik]

I'm really laid back but i do hold a grudge,and if anyone was too harm my kids,forgive?I'd rip their f*ck1ng throats out.

[Champagne]

[Champagne]

Post your question on here, PinkFizz. I'm sure sexyrussian will forgive you for taking over her thread.

[PinkFizz]

Im in the foulest mood ever!!! My day has gone from good to disaster in 15 mins!!

[Champagne]

What's happened?

[sexyrussian]

I did try to apologise a few months ago and I got an e-mail from milly143 saying that all was forgiven I was really shocked by this but unfortunetly no one else accepted my apology even though I was genuinely sorry so I thought there was no point in even trying to be nice as it would get me nowhere.Anyway beck to my original post.
