Ahh, The harder of the two

Forgiveness has an emotional quality. But there's one a little higher, and that's called forgetting. When you've truly forgiven somebody, you forget it. Too many of us have said, "I've forgiven my mother and father for beating me almost to death when I was three years old." No, you haven't. "Yes, I have forgiven them. I remember the stick they used." Forget it. "No, no way am I going to forget that." There's no real forgiveness until there is forgetting.
