how long it will take to forgive and forget?

Depends with me. Either in a matter of hours, or days. Sometimes, there IS no forgiveness or forgetting.

Forgive 10 minutes
Forget.......Never

Forgive easily but forget is hard to do

Sometimes...it just never happens.

Never do

Depends on who it is and what they did..

i don't forgive unless the wrongdoing was accidental. and i don't forget.

at this stage of life we're adults and should no better than to hurt others. people need to be held accountable for their actions.

We must forgive to go on, but we don't have to forget.
If we don't forgive then we don't grow as we should

some people don't deserve forgiveness.

Just cuz they dont deserve it, doesn't mean you don't deserve to move on. And in order for you to go forward, you must forgive. You don't have to talk to them, trust them or anything else, but for your own mind, heart, and soul, forgive them.

but God can forgive,why human can't?

It can take many years to forgive someone.

when a person is deliberately hurtful then they deserve and get no forgiveness from me. it has nothing to do with my moving on. as far as i'm concerned, that person has no place in my life. but i will not forgive that person just so that they can sleep better at night. they have done wrong and they need to be punished for their actions.

in my opinion

I think that by holding on to all that hate only hurts yourself....

I don't hold it, I just ignore people...lol

Forgive And Forget?A time in life that caused you pain….Seems the heartache will forever remain.You try so hard to forgive and forget….
Though not capable of letting go yet.As time goes past you start to forgive….But how can you forget as long as you live.What if you could forget when you had pain….Some of the good memories may not remain.When you forgive it is tremendous relief….That when you recall it causes you no grief.You may not forget as long as you live….
Though you’ll be at peace when you do forgive

I am ashamed of myself holding grudges in the past

Forgetting is optional. Forgiving is for you, not for him. Bitterness is a hell of a way to live.

i believe the apology is for you and the forgiving for them. if you don't accept their apology then you don't absolve them of their wrongdoing. most people don't apologize because of any sense of remorse, they apologize to try to alleviate tension or ill-will. if someone is truly remorseful about something they've done and i feel that they have learned from their mistake, then i may forgive them. but it is my option whether or not to pardon them for their malfeasance.
if i am wronged then it is up to me to decide what must be done for the wrong to be righted. i decide the penance. i decide when the debt is paid.
