Can you forgive me?

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart....Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.

  1. This quote is saying that forgiveness should have a huge impact on our heart. Many people have problems with forgiving someone so they would rather hold a grudge with a person than squashing it. Forgiving someone comes with the heart.If you don't forgive you can't proceed. Also it can save lives, many people have killed them selves over a situation where they were not forgiven. Alot can be resolved if you take the chance to forgive. You may not forget the situation but I'm sure if you forgive ,it will be better.

  2. - What this quote is statinq that Forqiveness is one of the major role plays in life . To forqive somebody may not be easy but to hold an qrudqe is not qood because that can elevate to worser thinqs . I know there has been a time where you've came across an predicament where you just like I will never forqive this person for what they've done , but it's better if you do . Like i'm not the person to hold an qrudqe aqainst somebody , because I will ( eventually ] forqive you but I will NEVER forget ! When you don't forqive
    someone it can result in a lot intense anqer where it may be hard to control and can really hurt someone . To forqive someone comes from the heart when you don't forqive it makes it harder to proceed on . Alot can be resolved when you forqive however it may help or or may not help the situation . Just qotta learn to forqive but never forqet and take it as a lesson learned.!

  3. I think this quote means forgiveness spares you alot of hearts ache. The more forgiveness you have in your heart, the more happy you'll be. To forgive someone is more valueable than being angry at then. When you stay angry at someone it ends up causing more conflict than it's worth. Forgiving someone is easier than holding a grudge against them. A lot can be gained from forgiving someone. This is what I think the quote mean.

  4. What this quote means to me is that if forgiveness doesnt come from the heart then it isnt sincere. If you dont forgive a person you can live with guilt because the apology may not be real. You should say you forgive someone if you mean. If i didnt mean something then i wouldnt say it. A lot of problems people have people find it hard to forgive. If you forgive you may not forget, but at least you wont have to live with that guilt for the rest of your life. In the past years, people have died & committed suicide because they lived with feeling bad. Always remember Forgiveness is the key but you'll never forget.

  6. I believe this quote is saying that forgiveness is the key to success ! In the process of forgiving, sometimes the things that hurt you the most you have to go ! Just like what Hannah Moore said " Forgiveness is the economy of our hearts..." That Statement is true. Without forgiveness, we as people will always have some type of strife against others, or the people that hurt you... Its up to us to forgive and move on with lives. Life is to short to have strife towards one anther ! Its time to let go and Forgive !

  7. Basically, what I think this quote is trying to reveal is that forgiveness is something that should be given at all times but it must be sincere! If it is not sincere then it should not be said! Like the Bible says, "Work without faith is dead." I relate that to forgiveness. It takes no energy (work) to say it, but it takes energy (work) to mean it. To forgive someone you must not bring up their past nor shall you forget! I often say forget the past but remember what it taught! Forgiveness is so more than what the average person think it is. Like, there is an acronym for the word F.A.M.E. It means Forgiving All My Enemies. Forgiveness is one of the things that I am working on; I'm known for being able to hold a grudge. And, I’m slowly learning to let them go as they come! I’m going to leave this thought by another quote I’m also saying: "Forgive All, Love Few, Trust NONE!"

  8. This quote is saying a lot of things that are important to many humans who have refused to forgive. Forgiveness is the money of the heart. Forgiveness will keep you from wasting anger. To keep from wasting anger and hatred, is a very good thing. Hatred is one thing that should not be wasted because of one’s pettiness not to forgive. People who will forgive will help to save a lot of things that are unnecessary to the heart. This quote is stating that when you forgive someone for a crime, that is when you have saved. You have saved time and energy for your heart to fulfill better things in life. Forgiveness is the key that will open up a pure heart.

  9. This quote means that it cost less to forgive someone than to be angry at them.When you forgive someone you have less stress on you.Also if you have forgiveness to other people they will to you.When you have hatred and anger in your heart people don't like to be around you.Forgiveness is a sign of a person with a pure kind heart.If you always get angry if someone do you wrong you let them control you.Soon you will become like them,because they was someone that was treated wrong so they take their anger out on other people.That's why we should try to have more forgiveness in are hearts.

  10. This quote is saying that forgiveness can take you a long way. Forgiveness is the best thing you can ever do for your self and someone else. When you forgive someone it takes stress off of you. When you forgive someone it makes it easier for you not to be angry. To much anger causes stress and heart ache. To much stress cause you to have heart attacks and sometimes die. That is where the waste of spirits comes in. Forgiveness is the key to live a happy life

  11. I think this quite is saying a lot of important things about forgiving someone. I think forgiveness helps you get through a situation that has happened to you. Also you have to know when and who to forgive. Like a lot of people say, "you can forgive but, you never forget". I think this quote is true in every way because once you forgive someone you are relieved of the stress of holding on to the grudge of someone hurting you. I believe that once you forgive someone that person can always hurt you again but hopefully they learned from their mistake. I hope that once you are forgiven by someone you learn that you will not always be forgiven. Remember too that everyone cannot be forgiven and every situation will not be forgiven.

  12. I believe this means that you should always forgive people.If you don't then you will always have bad thoughts in your mind. I think we should forgive people just like God forgave those who killed his son.When you are mad at people, I think you will be sad. Then you will have alot of stress which means you may have high blood pressure.

  13. To me this quotes is saying forgiveness is the key. People will go years with holding stuff in and not forgiving the person. Yeah that person hurt you but in order to move on you forgive them. It might sound dumb but that will help move forward with your life. You don't what to hold that anger in for the rest of your life, i know i wouldn't. So basically just remember FORGIVE but you'll never FORGET.

  14. -I think this quote means that forgiveness is a key to life. I forgive people because I think if I don't forgive my conscience will be haunting me. You can always forgive but never forget what happened. Without forgiveness this works would be full of hatred. I will always forgive people and I would want them to do the same. People in the world should do a alot of forgiving because if you don't you will never know what happens. Just forgive and live on with your life .

  16. To me, I think this quote means, when you forgive someone it comes from your heart. When you forgive someone, you are doing something good. Meaning, forgivenss saves on a lot. It saves and calms down on a lot of drama. Eventhough you may not want to forgive someone, do it anyway. It makes you the bigger person, and you will feel like a better person afterwards. In conclusion, this is what this quote means to me.

  17. I think this quote is saying that forgiveness save you stress and anger. if you can't forgive then you can't forget! It might be hard to forgive somebody because you are angry but you need to. It will only hurt you if you don't forgive and forget.It is a waste of time to hold a grudge and it will only bring you down. On the other hand you would always want someone to forgive you right? I always try to forgive and forget even though it may be hard.

  18. This quote really speaks to me. Forgiveness helps to dispose of the anger you might have. No one is perfect and that is why I ask the Lord for forgiveness everyday. You forgive someone because it is the right thing to do. Most people want to start problems with people because of something they might have done, but this is not right. I have done some things I really am ashamed of, and I know that I'm not perfect. Everyone has some flaws and everyone will mess up sometimes. You will never stop making mistakes but you can forgive those who have harmed you. Sometimes it may be hard, but you know it is the right thing to do.

  19. What this qoute means to me is that , forgiveness is the answer to every problem most of us will have in life. Its saying that throuqh everything we go through forgiveness will either help us after the conflict or before the conflict begans. If we take the time to stop focusing on the past and how bad we hurt someone or they hurt us and forgive them , everyone would be able to move on with their lives and not turn to drugs or alchohol.Forgiving isn't the easiest thing in life to do , but its the right thing. If we forgave one another maybe we wouldn't have had 9/11 , or we would'nt have had to kill Ohsama Ben Ladan. If the we as a country forgave everyone and left at that , we'd be suprised at what type of country we would be.

  20. I think this quote is saying you shouldnt go through life holding grudges at people.Every 60 seconds you spend angry or upset is a minute of happiness wasted.Forgiveness is the only cure for stress and anger.Not forgiving someone from what they did in the past will only hurt you and break you down more and more each day.

  21. This is a strong quote. This quote says that forgiveness is key. Forgiveness saves a lot of time. When you forgive someone you can move on. There is nothing holding you back. Forgiveness isn't really for the other person but for you. It relieves you. This quote says that if you don't forgive then you go along with weight on your shoulders. The other person might not even care. They may have thought the problem was squashed and moved on. They live a happy life and have power over you without them even knowing. This quote is saying without forgiveness you would sit around being angry at no one but really yourself.

  23. I think this quote means forgiveness comes from the heart. If you forgive then happiness will come. It's not good to hold grudges toward people. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone deserves a second chance. Never say you hate someone because deep down you dont mean it. To give up resentment against or the desire to punish; stop being angry.

  24. i think this quote has only one true meaning. That is the everyone is going to mess up eventually once.But there is so much more things that's better than holding a grudge against them. Life can go on easier without hatred and holding grudges against someone. So why wait and just forgive someone like you would want to be forgiven. Most likely if not it can come back to you. Like if you made a mistake and you wanted to be forgiven but that person didn't forgive you. So always forgive and move on in life.

  26. Forgiveness saves time, anger, and pain is what this quote is stating.Also,that forgiveness come straight from the heart.When you're angry or in pain you'll do things that you'll probably regret later so why not just forgive for your best interest. Yes its hard to forgive but staying mad does not solve anything. In fact it'll hurt you more in the long run then it will the person you need to forgive. Even though you forgive it is imperative you don't forget depending on the situation. Sometimes you just have to follow your heart and it will lead you to the best choice.

  29. Forgivness is peace on earth. A forgiving person has so much character about themselves . They know not to hold grudges and to let it go. Once we learn how to accept others mistakes and our self , we are building a new bridge. Life as we all know it is too short ,so why waste time and be filled with hatered? Forgiveness may be hard to commit too , but it certainly makes life easier. This quote is simple live , love , and forgive !

  30. God says live and forgive and never hate and forget. Forgiveness brings people happiness and will always bring happiness. A person that forgives many times knows what is right or wrong. We should not let hatred cover our heart with darkness and let forgiveness cover our heart with light. Forgiveness calms your mind and let you see the good things in humans. Your heart is full of love, forgiveness, and happiness but all that can change if one of these things leave your heart. Everyone shouldn't forgive their whole life but since it is almost the end, all humans should care for each and everyone at least.

  31. Forgiveness is the key to living a happy life.without forgiveness the world would be full of hatred and people holding grudges. The Bible says to forgive and forget. I personally forgive people regardless of what they have done. I think of it as if I don't forgive them for their mistakes,how can I expect them to forgive me for mine. Forgiving someone may not be as easy as holding a grudge towards someone.Once you forgive that person it makes your life better.

  32. I believe that this quote is saying that in order for you to progress in life you have to forgive and let go of the past. What I mean by this is that when you hold on to anger and resentment you get stuck in the past and won’t be able to focus on the future because when you hold a grudge against someone you think you are hurting them but in all actuality you are only hurting yourself. Because if you go throughout your life being mad at someone they will end up with control over you because you’ll allow them to change your whole mood and lose your focus when they are in your presence. And this is allowing them to have a lock and control on you which will cause you to not be able to move on with your life because you will be too worried about the past. Because by holding something against someone, you are showing them that they have a lasting hold/effect on you. But by forgiving them, you are showing them that their effect on you is minimum and that they are not as powerful as they think. And with forgiveness comes happiness and with happiness comes a better perspective of how you appeal to others, because when you forgive there is no more built up anger, stress or hatred it’s all released allowing you to move forward with life. So allow forgiveness in; forgive yourself first and foremost for letting you hold the pain this long, and then forgive the others that hurt you, and acknowledge the pain, and allow it to go by releasing the anger and hurt (which is only hurting you). By doing this you will remove the thorn in your heart and let fresh air and happiness in your life. So with that being said I believe that we should all just forgive and forget the pain and the stress that the past has caused and just move on with our lives because the past has already happened and there’s no way you can change it so there’s no reason for us to be dwelling back on it, but the future is waiting to be made so we should just be looking forward towards it because with forgiving and forgetting it will be bright. But if you do happen to look back in the past don’t dwell on it just use it as an example to make your future even better.

  33. Forgivness is the release of pain, but in order to forgive you must accept the pain. Many people forgive in different ways, and accepting the issue is normally the first step. Some people hold on to hatred for so long that they accept negativity into their lives, which causes them to be angry. An angry meal is never good food to the soul. God forgave us as people through his only son, so forgivness saved our lives. Forgiving is not forgetting, but accepting progress in your life.

  36. This quote is saying that you will benefit more from forgiveness. So many people get caught up because they are holding on to the past. We should all stop holding on to grudges because they won't do anything but hurt us. We need to stop bringing ourselves down by hate and learn to forgive. If you continue to let what someone did effect you then you will eventually destroy yourself. It's not good to keep all of your bad feelings towards someone bottled up because it will then start to effect your personality and make you bitter. If you learn to forgive then you will not have to experience or become so hateful. -Dana Hudson Period 1

  39. I believe that Hannah Moore is trying to say that forgiveness can either sav a life or end one. For example, almost everyday someone loses their life because, someone couldn't forgive or held on to a grudge. Which is why people always ask me why I never try to get payback for someone has done to me. I just simply tell them keeping a grudge isn't healthy. That can ruin a persons life or stop them from what they're trying to do in life.

  40. This quote really gives you alot to think about. Forgiving someone is alot especially after being hurt or something. Forgiveness would make you feel like a bigger person also. You shouldnt hold a grudge against someone but yet forgive. Life is to short for grudges. Forgiving someone can save all the anger you'll have built up than keeping the grudge. You should always forgive no matter the degree but NEVER forget.

This is a good quote to me because everyone needs forgiveness at one point in there life.

  42. What this quote means to me is that, we all will have to go through forgiveness. You will have a great life if you forgive all of your enemies. The Bible talks about, forgiving others, as if you want to be forgiven. How do someone think they should be forgiven if they dont't forgive me. Never hold something against someone even if there wrong. You'll never make it through life. Always keep in mind that God forgive me and you every day we do wrong.

  43. This quote is very interesting because this is very true. The world would be 10x worse than what it is today. Foregiveness is the key to our salvation. It is said that if you don't forgive someone, then you could get sick (mentally or physically). Most people have been through something traumatic in their life and been able to forgive. If you don't forgive then you will probly spend therest of your life miserable. That is why you should forgive and forget.

  44. This quote has a deep meaning. I think that holding a grudge just hurts you, while the person who you are mad at is getting on with their lives. The Lord says to forgive those who have done wrong and we should do that. Experiencing this myself, it is had to forgive. But when you do forgive, it feels like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders. It also makes you feel a little bit better about yourself because you know you did the right thing. You may not be able to forgive and forget, but try to make the effort to forgive and you will find that everything will turn out alright.

  45. To me this quote means forgiveness is key. What people might not know is forgiveness means more than just a word.. It means escaping from the past and able to live in the present. Little do people know that by not forgiving someone creates stress. It makes you not able to function and be happy because you're so busy on reminiscence'n on the past. Forgiveness will get you far ahead of people that holds grudges.. It basically just shows how mature you are.
