Forgive and forget.  I hear that a lot.  When you forgive, do you literally forget?

When you forgive, you do not develop moral amnesia.  You remember what happened, but you now remember in new ways, without the buildup of anger that persists.  So, think of forgiving as not literally forgetting, but as you look back you remember without all the pain and discontent.
