Forgive then Forget

In one of my previous blogs I stated how infrequently we hear the words "I'm sorry". It was refreshing to read the open letter in the March 3rd Record Delta from Greg White. His letter was simple, to the point and he took responsibility for his actions. He also took action to prevent future incidents. Well done Greg. Now it is up to all of us to put this incident behind us, forgive it and forget it.

The principle of forgive and forget applies to us all. In my experience I find it easier to forgive than forget. If we can't carry through on the forget part, old demons will come back to haunt you. We also set ourselves up to be very judgemental if we can't fully apply the principle of forgive and forget. I still do my best to forget though sometimes it's difficult. I hope those in our community who choose to raise the forgiven past will also learn to forget it.
