Forgiving not forgetting

Just now,, through a conversation in msn,, a friend of mine asked me a question, “Can you forgive if you can’t forget?”
It reminds me of an episode in Sex and The City,, aLmost forgot though….
Just remembered when at the end of that episode,, Carrie asked the same question…
She even put in her pers msg: “SteLLa—Rani are discussing forgiven but not forgotten!!!!”
Huahahahaa….

WeLL,, can I ??
At this time,, my answer wiLL be “Yeah”…
Then she asked me again,, “Does forgiving mean that you act normaLLy with that person as weLL as you did before that person made you upset??”
Hmm…. “HopefuLLy… I tried…”,, I anwered sLowLy…

“What is forgiving then?”
It means,, you accept that once in your Lifetime,, someone has done something crueL to you,, but you just keep going with your own Life instead of thinking and regretting about it over and over again…
Sometimes,, you don’t have to forget,, so that you can Learn how to protect yourseLf…

I’m just a human… I know that forgiving is not as simpLe as saying “Ok,, I forgive you” or sending sms and putting ^^ or ;p or =D or something Like that….
But at Least,, I try,, though I know it may not sufficient…
We are created with memories so we can put aLL out experiences and expressions in it..
For some cases,, some memories are just too hard to be erased…

Of course,, to forgive or not,, is just a choice…
I couLd keep my anger forever.. But then,, is it good??
Our Father never angry with us,, the sinners…
Then,, why shouLd I keep my anger???
I rather choose to forgive to keep my heart pure…
