Good advice, Deb. A mindful poem that can help many as almost everyone has the experience of being mistreated or even abused by someone. Forgiving is easier than forgetting, but being mindful and not allowing the negative to dominate our lives is the key to being able to move on. Holding on to the negative cause the pain to fester and bring destruction to ourselves. Thanks for sharing this meaningful and important principle. Big hugs, Bill

Dear Deb, I so love reading these poems from you sweet one. You always take away something from them. It is so hard to both forgive and forget but if you can forgive even though you may not forgot then I think it’s good to be mindful as you have said. There is much strength in forgiveness and a loving nature such as yours will march on. Wishing you much strength and big hugs dear friend. Xx :):)

I think the forgiving is easier than the forgetting. Unfortunately the forgetting part would hold the most benefit for the person doing the forgiving. A thought provoking piece.

I phrase I learned while teaching was 'let go and move on' Those words served me well with students and adults alike. Wise words, Deb...have a great evening, Sara

Thankyou Sweet Ink…..as we've talked about before l also am too naive and gullible and will always be….l can forgive others no problem but l ‘always’ remain mindful and keep away from negative people….its healthier for ones mental health! Always a pleasure hearing from you my sweet girl! Debx

Thoughts still enter our brains, but we are more willing to forgive. Even if we have encountered unjust action, forgiving is the greatest way to behave.

Hey Lasaad….yes thoughts do and its not always to shed them but we must try to for our own mindset….forgiveness for me comes easier but l remain mindful always! Thanks ….Debx

One is usually harder to do than the other. We can more easily forgive, but we can't control thoughts that enter our mind. Your writing is more than fair since you've been treated unfairly by some. Hugs for you, Deb.

;-) I try, Deb, always hoping to succeed. Then ask God to help me do just that.

Yes forgiveness is easier than forgetting but for our own peace of mind and mental health we need to try! Thanks lovely Lin! Debx

It doesn't do any good to bear grudges, forgive, forget and move on. Hope you're well Deb. Tom
