Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Why, PKelly? Just curious?

L2L3 says,

Forgetting still leaves the feelings behind.

PKELLY says,

Because it was bad, and I'd rather the person I did it to could just forget about me and it, even though they offer forgiveness and reconciliation I do not deserve. Really bad. A proper penance would be indifference and alienation.

Wench says,

But if they can't forget, the only way to be happy is to forgive.

Can you claim temporary demon possession, intoxication or outright pigheaded stupidity as underlying factors? Forgiveness of the human condition is a great equalizer and unfurls a rare, flat, playing field.

canadafreeze says,

Forgiving is much harder than forgetting. That mat be bumper sticker logic, but forgiving provides a resolution and, as previously stated, provides a level playing field.
Perhaps you need to forgive yourself.

PKELLY says,

L2L3 says,

Not if you complete the appropriate follow-through.
