Do you go for forgiveness on NYE?

Topics

I don't

Why, just cos it's the end of one month and the beginning of the other, should it be 'expected' that you would just forget about any shite that's been thrown at you and forgive it all solely cos it's the end of December? It isn't expected at any other time of year is it?

Yes yes I know there's all the crap about starting the new year with a clean slate but IMPHO it depends on the crime. You wouldn't forgive 10 year old Kai next door for nicking his dad's white Sierra (with go faster stripes) and running over your goldfish would you? You wouldn't bump into Osama in Tesco's, stick your hand out and say 'no worries mate, I understand it was probably the missus and her PMT', so why in any other situation?

Meh

I just hate all the fakeness around it. Ok, granted, if you decide you want to make acquaintences again then happy days, but if you don't, then you shouldn't have to if it's not what you want to do.

And Mrs H, I've tried the forgive but not forget thing aswell, I've managed to forgive until mid-January when the accused usually ends up doing something else totally tosserish and reminds me why I chose not to forget in the first place

many years ago my mate got dumped by her b/f in the middle of december.....she was heartbroken.....we all went to a party new years eve and he was there......she told us she was going to snog his chops off at midnight......being concerned girly mates we were all 'noooooooo he's a knobcheese don't'......she just smiled and told us to trust her......

so midnight comes and she sucks his face off....he drunkenly slurs..'aw you've forgiven me babe'............she goes 'have i f***'......kneed him in the meat n 2 veg and left him in a heap on the floor...

I'm with you on this one Karma.

The only reason I'd forgive at new year is if it was something i would forgive anyway that happened over Christmas or around that time, I don't see the point in forgiving something you wouldn't normally just cos of the date

Maybe people just get too drunk to hold a grudge

Oh and Happy New Year peeps!! Hope you all have a great one

I'm a really forgiving person anyway, I don't hold grudges easily...I can forgive and forget.

But sometimes someone proves themselves to be such an utter nobber that I just think "I can't be arsed having you in my life" and that's it gone, I want nowt to do with them. It's not that I haven't forgiven them, it's just they cause more upset/havoc/sadness then they are worth.

Sometimes only with time can some things be forgiven, even if not forgotten. I don't think a special date has anything to do with it. We either reach the point of genuinely forgiving someone or we never do, it's all related to choice and/or the circumstances. When I've reached the point of totally forgiving some very painful stuff I've learnt it's absolutely freeing, could I forgive certain situations in life that others have had to deal with? I honestly don't know as there are still some situations I've not personally been tested with and hope I never am

Hope you all have a great New Year and receive what you hope for

I DO forgive i just don't forget! But it's nothing to do with NYE!

Not a chance in hell! I'm a Scorpio/Ox and according to those in the astrology know, there is no combination sign more vengeful.
It takes a lot for me to forgive anyone that wrongs me, I wouldn't act any differently just because it's a New Year.
I hate all the New Year fake stuff anyway, people forget it 24 hours later

I will never never forgive my Dad ever.

But I have forgiven everyone else that have done me a wrong. I'm a forgiving soul

But not because it's NYE. That makes no sense to me

I can forgive and forget. I don't care that much.

Seriously? It's not worth it. The toxins of such seep inwards more than out.
