But what if the devil keeps reminding you, or your emotions keep reminding you? But you have forgiven? I think we should just honestly TRY to forget. Mother Teresa also said we just have to try. She knows we cannot be perfect. Like people who are abused for years on end. Thet cannot just forget. But it's a process. One that can last all of their lives.
Forgetting really means that the memory no longer creates an emotional response from you. Of course you can still recall things but it doesn't have the same "charge" to it...
Unless I'm misunderstanding her, I think she's wrong about forgetting. She says that repeating means that we haven't forgotten, but the opposite is true. We repeat because we forget mistakes.
@KayBeeEee1983 We repeat things that we haven't LEARNED from. You can forget the action that caused the lesson, but you learn from the lesson itself. For instance, if someone has taken advantage of you, you can forget (meaning you are no longer bound by the emotional response triggered by remembering the wrongdoing) which in turn will lead to forgiveness, but you will always remember the lesson of not being so naive and giving.
I think a key is to speak about events in terms of your emotions rather than name calling / metaphor. I'm really embarrassed by what I did. I hate that I did that. I'm upset by what she said to me. He was livid about what I did. I regret doing that, I wish I hadn't . I must not do that again, I must try to do this...instead. I hate what you did there, please don't do that again. Please take more care. I didn't mean to do that. I shouldn't have done that. I'm annoyed by what they did
It takes the HOLY spirit to forgive....we are unable to forgive by our own means and from our own heart.We are just not capable.Come Holy Spirit ,,,,,fill me.
This is a very wonderful video. It is really very hard to forget. I believe that doing that is impossible for us as human beings, but with the grace of God, nothing is impossible.
Yes it is possible to forget, but you have to really forgive from all your heart, it can't be no more place for hate...only then you can forgive, so what happened will be forgotten with the time you will not remeber about it anymore.
But to forget is really impossible unless you become senile! (or otherwise braindamaged so that your ability to remember has been destroyed.) Or did I misinterepret here meaning of the word? (she may have meant to no dwell on it in one´s memory.)
@ellandelachapelle By forgive I'm quite certain she means get over it. Forgive and forget dosen't necessarily mean to just completely erase it from your memory, just not to keep thinking about it. Don't dwell on it.
good video... she said it forget goes together with forgiveness in order to forgiveness to work =) i really enjoyed her wisdom thanx for the video ^.^
I am an atheist and I respect her.
