Swami Mukundananda
Does forgiving mean I have to forget what happened?
Forgive, but you need not forget
If somebody has hurt you, you don't have to forget, or you will be hurt again, but learn to forgive. Forgiveness is the gift we offer to ourselves.
Forgiveness releases us from wounds that would keep festering if we did not forgive. If someone has hurt us, we need not forget, or we would be hurt again, but we should learn to forgive.
