Can You "FORGIVE" And "FORGET" ...?

Forgiving is very much different than forgetting. What those kids did to you had a huge impact on who you are today. If you suffered that much pain...how can you possibly forget it? The fact that you don't harbor any feelings towards these people is forgivness. You are not obligated to be their dearest friend. They never gave you the opportunity to form this kind of relationship with them. The true question is...if they were hurt or in trouble, would you help them? If the answer is yes (and I feel that you will say yes)..then that is what is important.
