What's the expression "Fool me once...?"
I modify my own behavior in accordance with other people's history. People that don't pay me back will stop recieving loans. People who are always late will find me less willing to make appointments.
Forgive, yes. Forget, never.

Depends on what I am forgiving and what I am forgetting.
Y'know it will never be the same, but it has the potential to be better. Because, it can't really get as bad as it is when you got into it with the other person.
Sometimes you do have to clear the air and re-establish that which you lost contact with...usually yourself. When you can do that, then there is a chance of creating something better.

If you are able to forgive and forget, that makes you a very respectable and unique person who is in control of his/her emotions. This is what TRUE LOVE is all about.

Everything that happens is experience...
I wish them well (never wanting to part on a harsh word), and vow not to repeat the same mistake again. This dance in the sun is too brief to dwell on what's now over in my books. (it's history)
*Except terrorists!

I see what you mean. It does take maturity to realize that some people are never going to change their actions just because you're hurt by them.
Most of the time maturity breeds confidence and that helps in realizing that we don't build our self esteem on what other's think of us.
