We share similar sentiments on the topic. Forgiveness gives both peace and freedom to self. It's necessary in order that one gets their positive energy up-and-running. Forgetting, on the flip side, seems a lot farther. Just how can one forget these things? We all have a mind/memory for a reason. If we forget the incident, we could just as well forget the lesson learned or get into a repeat of the same event. Forgiveness is a fair stand.
