Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are some hurts that we experience that can be forgiven but we won't forget them.
When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.
Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.
Coping with injuries is always difficult for athletes because all we want to do is, basically, to have our best performances unhindered.
A stiff apology is a second insult... The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
No one really forgives unless he has been hurt.
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
Forgotten is forgiven.
An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.
