Forgiveness

Why must we forgive and move on as though nothing ever happened? 

   Depending on the situation, sometimes the hurt overwhelms us to the point we can't forget? 

   So if we can't forget, what is the point of forgiveness?

   Perhaps we should just move forward letting go of the situation and lower the trust bar we once held high learning not to trust that person as much any longer. 

   We can then forgive, but also learn from our mistakes. 

   I say forgive but don't ever forget!!!
