" I personally do not like the idea of forgiving people because once someone messes up, they will do it again and again so to forgive them would be like stabbing your own body twice in the back. I hate how people say those who do not forgive are cold hearted because we are not. It is called being wise"

     I got this from Rokhsor's post about whether people who make mistakes should be forgiven. My views are completely different from Rokhsor's. If someone makes a mistake and realizes that what they did was wrong, then they should be forgiven because they are sorry for what they did and realize that they had done something wrong. 
     Last year, there were many things that people had done to others. This year, everyone forgave each other to a degree that allowed friendship. If everyone had stayed hating each other and held grudges because of mistakes that only caused drama, then everyone would be divided. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, whether it is talking smack or telling someone's secret or anything else. If you never forgave anyone, who will you have in the end? Even the truest friends make the mistake of hurting you in a way, but they would realize their mistakes and would try their hardest to make it right if you gave them the chance to. 
     Its impossible to forever be angry at everyone and everything because they made a mistake. If so, you would never even be able to forgive yourself for the things that you have done to others. Maybe it was unintentional or maybe it was with the complete intent of harming that person, but whatever you did, you forgave yourself, so you can't you forgive someone else who made the same mistake as you?
