Forgive & Forget - is it human nature?

This was one of my essay topics for my weekend homework.
To forgive and forget.
It left me,half of the time pondering about the things i should do, to forgive and forget.
Relating it to a situation of mine, a very very similar situation.

I would agree that most of the time,
we find it extremely hard to admit our mistakes especially major mistakes.
at the same time, deep in our heart, we seek forgiveness from the other party.
All of us, i believe have unpleasant encounters in life.(Yes, we all do)
Life is short, how much time can we spare on yesterday's trespasses.
We ought to forgive and forget, but never will we forget the experience.
and the experience is probably what that will guide us through similar situations in the future.

Forgiving and Forgetting is no longer a case of whos wrong and whos right.
and its about how to feel towards this particular person.
Of couse, having said that its good to F&F( short form lah.. i've been repearing!),
it would also much depend on alot of factors.
Time, Relationship and of course, how serious the situation is.
At times, you might think you've forgotten.
but suddenly, a tiny lil thing can make you recall all the things.

I believe its human nature, or its natural to say that WE,
see the Bad(s) more than the Good(s).
you can totally forget what this person have done for you,
but for the bad, you would remember it for the rest of your life.
By not forgiving, we develop a sense of hatred and mistrust towards the person.
so is the best way- to let go?

I've tried letting it go over the past few months.
well, i would frankly say, i didnt managed to.
We all have Memories.
and Memories are not always those sweet ones,
they do consist some that you don't want to remember.
but its just INSIDE. remember, (you didnt choose to)

The closer the relationship, the more hurtful it is.
make sense?! and is this one of the reasons why i find it so hard to let go? , perhaps.
I dont want this to happen either.
tell me who doesnt want to live a peaceful life, not being hated, and not to hate someone.
okay, maybe hate is too strong for this case, dislike would be a better word.
If only i could let go, i definitely will.
and i'm trying to.
but i will never forget what she have done that have haunted me over the past few months.
and i'm utterly disappointed with her, even till today.
at the same time, i do have umpteen questions running through my head,
which i believed can never be answered. and i don't bother to check it out either.

I dont know how long this will take, but if time heals, den i'll let it be.

If we can let the past be the past,
then what is the point of having a memory?

Having said that Today is a brand new day.
that doesnt mean, we dont remember anything from yesterday.

I've proven my point.

i'm throwing back the question at you,
can YOU forgive and forget?
