is it possible to forgive but not forget? is it not the nature of forgivness to move past the pain caused by another's actions in order to see that which is still good? i think so...but can you really move past pain without simply forgetting it? how do you hold on the the shadow of the feeling without the opacity to create the shadow? if you forgive, isn't the only option to forget? can i, who have been beat up and broken down allow myself to forget that which might be imperative to my survival? even if i want to forgive...to forget...can i leave myself that exposed yet again?
