Forgiving but not Forgetting.

Forgiveness is a basic necessity for life, we know that being able to forgive people gives us peace of mind and unending happiness but there are people who also take the act of easy forgiveness as a weakness to hurt those with a good heart even more regularly, that is a reason why it is necessary for us to learn to forgive but not give people a chance to constantly hurt us at will again.
That takes me down to writing about not forgetting the wrongs people do to us, people say this but really how right or how justifiable do you think it is, let's get into exploring the topic.

Decisional forgiveness: Decisional forgiveness is the ability to make the conscious decision to push aside hurtful feelings like resentment and anger, putting these feelings aside would help us move freely as well as set the path to help us avoid the hurtful feelings that unforgiveness can cause.

Emotional Forgiveness: Forgiving emotionally describes the replacement of negative emotions towards the one who has offended you with sympathy, compassion, and empathy.

The big question and basis of this post is, does forgiving someone require that you completely forget about what they have done in the past? Based on a study carried out in a [2011 research], the study suggested that forgiveness has the ability to give the offender permission to continue the offense, some of these people may make the decision of manipulating the entire forgiveness process.
Learning from the experience of a past hurt can be really challenging, but learning from this experience can actually help us cope very well with similar occurrences in the future and this is a major reason why some experts advise that it is permissible to forgive but definitely not wise to forget.

Before I round up on this topic, I will like to give a gentle reminder of the strong significance of forgiveness, the points I will love to highlight are;

• Forgiveness is important for emotional well-being.
• Forgiveness helps to strengthen our relationships.
• Forgiveness helps us remain happy.
• Through forgiveness, we have a pure mind toward others.

So, in conclusion, friends, I would like to know what your take is on the topic, do you feel it is a good thing to forgive and forget or you do feel it is enough to forgive without forgetting, I would love to read from you friends and get to know what you feel, see you in the comment section.
