Forgive, But Don’t Forget
Forgiveness sets you free. Memory keeps you wise.
There is an old saying, "Forgive and forget."But life teaches us something different. Forgive,yes. But never forget what it taught you.
Forgiveness is an internal release. It means freeing yourself from the weight of resentment. When you forgive, you are not saying what happened was okay. Instead you are telling yourself and others that you are choosing peace over poison.
Forgetting is a different story.
Every painful moment, every betrayal and every disappointment carries a hidden lesson. Sometimes, it is about setting boundaries. Sometimes, it is about trusting your instincts. Often it is about figuring out who truly needs and deserves your energy.
If y ou forget what really happenned and how you felt that moment, you might heal. However, the chance of repeating the same mistake is high. If you remember, you carry forward the wisdom.
Forgiveness is wisom, and memorey is a tool.
Together, they form the foundation of growth. One softens your heart. The other sharpens your vision.
So yes, forgive for your own peace. But don't forget for your protection.
Let the past be your teacher.
