I've been thinking sometime ago about the meaning behind
"Forgive and Forget".
To me, 'forgive' and 'forget' are not TWO parts, to me
they are 1/2 1/2 and they make a WHOLE.
Say for example... if i say "Jack"... what does that
mean to you?
Nothing.
Right?
If i say "Jill", what does that mean to you?
Nothing.
RIght?
NOW if i say "Jack and Jill", what does that mean to
you?
Unless you've been living under a rock all these
years, you would know Jack and Jill.
... you might not come across jack and jill on a daily
basis, but you would surely have a fair idea of who
jack and jill are..
Now, look at this scenerio,..
* Time in *
A man cheats on his wife.
She finds out about his affair.
After many fights, she tells him that she has FORGIVEN
and FORGOTTEN about it.
So they decide to move on from that bad experience and
carry on being together.
A few years later, they are sitting down, having
dinner.
The wife looks angry.
The man says "Whats wrong dear?"
The wife says "YOU LET THE DOG SLEEP IN OUR BED LAST
NIGHT, I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I
DONT WANT THAT MUTT SLEEPING IN OUR BED!"
The husband says "Sweetheart, it was raining outside,
and our heating system is broken, Lassie (the dog)
would have frozen to death downstairs in the
garage,.."
The wife says "Oh, so first you sleep with your
assistant in our bed, and now you let the dog sleep in
our bed!"
The husband says "Whatever happened to FORGIVE AND
FORGET??"
The wife says " I FORGIVE, BUT I DO NOT FORGET!"
* TIME OUT *
Now ask yourself... Is it possible to do one without
the other?
In my opinion (and i like to think it is the opinion
of any elite rational minded person..) the female is
Lying to him, and Herself by saying that she has
FORGIVEN him.
The concept of 'forget' in 'forgive and forget' is...
.. You learn a lesson from it, you dont let it happen
to yourself again ( of course it is sometimes out of
our control ), you come to the realization that these
things happen,..
.. but you should stop associating the PERSON (that
you say "i forgive you" to) to the ACT that you CLAIM
to be FORGIVING him for.
Because at the end of the day, if you are saying that
" I FORGIVE but i do not FORGET",.. all you are really
saying is " I FORGOT TO FORGIVE"
