Do you think it is a good idea to “forgive and forget”? It seems to me that if we completely forget, then we are open to the injustices experienced before. Maybe we remember and, at the same time, not dwell on the person’s actions.
You show insight here as you answer your own question. I use the expression, “Forgive and remember in new ways.” In other words, we do not develop a kind of moral amnesia in which we completely forget. We remember so that it does not happen again, but we remember without the burning anger that can be disruptive to the person who was treated unfairly.
