People can't be forgiven, it's silly
Everyone deserves second chance because making mistake is human nature and forgiving those mistakes is the evolution of human nature.

How can we learn to forgive ? Is it difficult for u ? Or may be others do not owe us anything ?
I find it easy to forgive people, but I tend to not forget how they wronged me.
Would rather not carry grudges, but I am how I am.
A man's not a lone island, we're social animals and should learn to accept others' shortcomings so we can get along better.

But i think it is not easy as you think. We are not robot, we are human being and as a human being we have emotions, and if someone hurt us then we feel it, so it is not easy to forgive in a second and without say to sorry. But if someone said us Sorry then definitely we should forgive him.
But unfortunately people not accept it that they hurt us, and that's why they are not ready to say Sorry to us.

I still believe in what the Bible says that revenge is to God. It will take much energy in may part to hold grudges against people who hurt me and taken advantage of me and sometimes in our desire to avenge, the most people that end up to be miserable is us also. We are being blinded by our desire to hurt back to the point of hindering happiness from our lives. I decided, it will not add me a single day or hour in living my life or will not make me a better person if I be angry with them for the rest of my life so I better shrug my shoulder off and move on. Let God do the revenge in my behalf.

forgiveness brings you relief, you don't focus on negative things and open doors for good things in your life!

People which can't forgive are trapped in negative feelings and can't get out.
If it is too long they can get sick or they will simply be unhappy.
Forgiveness has the strength to heal a man.

For me, it is really difficult to forgive to people. I learn from my life, that we could forgive to only those people who have no relation with us, and it is easy to forgive them strangers.
But we couldn't forgive those people who are our blood relations, if our closer family members hurt us then it is hard to forgive them. So for me, i can't do it.

I think everyone knows how to forgive by themselves, it's not necessary to learn how to, but just to awake this feeling inside ourselves. However you should be very careful when forgiving others, because some people ask for you pardon, but right after that they start deceiving you again!
The difficulty on this matter is to be wise to know who deserves to be forgiven and who doesn't.

At first it is really hard for me to forgive especially when I have fights and I don't have the revenge, I feel so hard in my feelings. But someone told me that your pride will not result anything good and if you think about it you'll realize that he is correct. From that time I started to change and I am here now ready to forgive.

I like the comment, to forgive but not forget. Forgive maybe just for peace of mind, I don't think it's healthy to hold grudges. And maybe to have improved relation, in case something positive can come out of it. But never forget, I'd like to think how to avoid being wronged the same way again.

I don't know how to forgive people. I live by one rule: if a person betrayed you once, he will betray you a second time

Definitely true in many cases.
The key is, never allow the same person an opportunity to betray you the second time.
Not necessarily but have high chances.You no need to accept the person into your life again just forgive and let the karma do the things for him for his betrayal.

It's very difficult to forgive because it's against our nature.
I know how much difficult is to control our negative emotions like hatred or anger.
How to overcome it?
Go to the church, read holy books and you may find power there.
From my experience, such things can help.

forgiveness brings the forgiver peace of mind and with the help of this, you can anger free feel. While there is some debate over whether true forgiveness needs positive feelings toward the enemy, experts agree that it at least involves letting go to hold negative feelings.

Forgiveness is something that is very difficult, especially when we really have been disappointed with something. Forgive or have no rights for someone. However, if you are a follower of a religion, I am sure your religion will advocate forgiving everything and not taking revenge.

Forgiveness is essential. Why? Because what goes around comes around.

If you don't forgive, you won't be forgiven. But if you DO forgive, you will be vindicated even if you aren't forgiven.

Forgiveness isn't necessarily towards another person, it can be within. Recently, I've learned how to forgive myself. That is because of a mistake I can't move on from, I formatted my hard drive with the codes to my BTC in it. Yea, it crushes me for sure, and for a time, I lost grit and the drive to do it anymore. Yet, for some reason, I came to realize that I can't change what happened so I forgive myself and started to move on. Now, I'm regaining that money is lost through investing and trading again and sometimes playing betting games in Vegascasino.
You seem like a amazing person, you are very indulgent. May i know where you are investing at? and where is that vegascasino? coz i might do what you are doing to distract myself and forgiving someone.

Buddha said : Holding on to anger, is like holding burning coal in your hand to throw at others. You end up hurting yourself more. Jesus Christ said on the cross of the people who crucified him : 'Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do' This is the greatest act of forgiveness practiced by divine souls. On the other hand, resentment, grudges are slow poison, so sooner you let go, the better.

I found these as well:

  • Subvert anger by forgiveness.
1.Jainism. Samanasuttam 136

  • The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget.
2.Islam (Shiite). Nahjul Balagha, Saying 201

  • Where there is forgiveness, there is God Himself.
3.Sikhism. Adi Granth, Shalok, Kabir, p. 1372

  • If you efface and overlook and forgive, then lo! God is forgiving, merciful.
4.Islam. Qur'an 64.14

  • The superior man tends to forgive wrongs and deals leniently with crimes.
5.Confucianism. I Ching 40: Release

  • If you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
6.Christianity. Matthew 5.23-24

  • The Day of Atonement atones for sins against God, not for sins against man, unless the injured person has been appeased.
7.Judaism. Mishnah, Yoma 8.9

  • Show endurance in humiliation and bear no grudge.
8.Taoism. Treatise on Response and Retribution

  • You shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
9.Judaism and Christianity. Leviticus 19.18

  • Who takes vengeance or bears a grudge acts like one who, having cut one hand while handling a knife, avenges himself by stabbing the other hand.
10.Judaism. Jerusalem Talmud, Nedarim 9.4

  • Moses son of Imran said, "My Lord, who is the greatest of Thy servants in Thy estimation?" and received the reply, "The one who forgives when he is in a position of power."
11.Islam. Hadith of Baihaqi

  • Better and more rewarding is God's reward to those who believe and put their trust in Him: who avoid gross sins and indecencies and, when angered, are willing to forgive... Let evil be rewarded by like evil, but he who forgives and seeks reconciliation shall be rewarded by God. He does not love the wrongdoers.... True constancy lies in forgiveness and patient forbearance.
12.Islam. Qur'an 42.36-43

  • In reconciling a great injury,
    Some injury is sure to remain.
    How can this be good?
    Therefore the sage holds the left-hand tally [obligation] of a contract;
    He does not blame others.
    The person of virtue attends to the obligation;
    The person without virtue attends to the exactions.
13.Taoism. Tao Te Ching 79

Learning how to forgive depends on the person's deed to you. If it's too heavy and you just can't forgive him/her, take time. Wounds aren't healing quickly, there's always the right time to forgive. There are people too that are easy to forgive regardless of what the people did to them.

Forgive but never forget ,
Just forget if you have already forgiven that person, there's always string attached to the past if you will never forget. Your emotion will mix and trigger if you will not forget what they did. It's hard but you have to.

To judge or to hold a grudge against someone else is ultimately the same as allowing yourself to be judged on the Last Day - and with the same measure as well.

If, on the Last Day, you have been able to forgive all things, and hold no grudges - then all things you have done will also be forgiven and no grudge will be held against you.

This is the essence of what Jesus tried to teach.

As much as i can understand that, i still have trouble holding to it myself.

Good luck to all ^^

Forgiving is not just for the one who made the sin but also for the victim. To be truly happy, we need to let go all of our grudges against that person.

What if that person is the one who made us truly happy before but then they hurt us? How can we learn to forgive if we are hurt by those we loved the most?

Isn't supposed to be that you should forgive him/her more, since that person holds so much in your heart. After all, true forgiveness comes within your heart. I am not saying that it is easy to forgive nor to trust that person again. Just let go of all grudges you hold so your can heart can be free again. You can say that it is like gambling your heart once again. Either you can have him/her back again or lose that person, at least you did forgive that person.

Forgiveness requires feeling willing to forgive. Sometimes you won't, because the hurt went too deep, or because the person was too abusive, or expressed no regret. Do not attempt to forgive someone before you have identified, fully felt, expressed, and released your anger and pain.

If you decide you are willing to forgive, find a good place and time to be alone with your thoughts.

When you forgive, you are accepting the reality of what happened and finding a way to live in a state of resolution with it. You can take your time and it doesn't necessarily have to include the person you are forgiving. Forgiveness isn't something you do for the person who wronged you, it's something you do for yourself.

Of course everybody does not owe us, but that doesn't mean that you can't forgive them. If you have something unsaid to that person, than you have to talk with him about this. That does not cost anything, but you will feel much easier. After a little talk about things about which you are still concerned, you will forgive this person during some time.

 I don't know how to forgive people. I live by one rule: if a person betrayed you once, he will betray you a second time

"Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace." - Jonathan Lockwood Huie. This quote is what comes to my mind when I find it hard to forgive someone.

I used to have trouble apologizing. But now I realized that this is simply necessary if you want to consider yourself a good person. You need to overcome yourself and apologize. Then you will feel that it has become easier for you to live and you will not have feelings of guilt. It is very important.

You can forgive anything except betrayal. Remember this rule and live with it. For the man who betrayed you will betray you again.

The ability to forgive is the key to happiness I think.. you'll let yourself be free of negative feelings.

It is very difficult to learn how to forgive people. Sometimes you want to kill a person, who hurt you, and you are a very valuable and honest person if you can forgive people and feel good after that.

Depends on the situation, it is sometimes a lot easier to hold a grudge than to forgive
Yet this way you will let the grudge take over and actually like that you will feel much worse yourself and your hatred towards the other person probably won't hurt them but you yourself are the one who's stuck with it.
I think Hanna Kallis had a really nice thought here too.

By letting go in this way, we are not saying that what happened to us was okay. We’re just making the choice to not be ruled by what happened, recover, make peace and move on.

Forgiving others is good. But people always think it benefits that other person. But instead, forgiving others is for our own good because it takes a lot of energy to hold grudges. Hatred will kill us slowly inside out.

Of course that doesn't mean forgiving = forgetting.

Forgive. But never forget. So one can grow to be wiser not to make the same mistake in believing in a scam. If a church pastor or a monk cheats $50million and went to jail...forgive him even though he may not repent. But never forget the event. So we can teach later generation to be wiser.

Absolutely agree. Forgiving others is giving ourselves freedom. We can be free from the emotion of hatred. 😊😎

Forgiveness has to do with cancelling a debt. But it is like giving ahead of time.

Somebody owes you something. But you essentially give him the thing from the time when he took it from you.

Have a forgiving heart for your own benefit.

Make the person who owes you to see that he owes you, for his benefit.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to take the person to court, not with the idea of non-forgiveness, but to show him how important it is for him to repent. When you win, let him have the substance of the debt, anyway... because you have forgiven him in your heart already.  This will humiliate him more than if you took what you won, making him more indebted to you than ever. And it will strengthen you in your forgiveness resolve.

Cool

Buddha said : Holding on to anger, is like holding burning coal in your hand to throw at others. You end up hurting yourself more. Jesus Christ said on the cross of the people who crucified him : 'Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do' This is the greatest act of forgiveness practiced by divine souls. On the other hand, resentment, grudges are slow poison, so sooner you let go, the better.
