To Forgive Is to Remember... Differently
Forgive and forget: two words, often combined into one piece of advice despite seeming contradictory. “Forgiveness involves the emotional reappraisal of the memory of a past wrongdoing,” said Felipe De Brigard, a Duke neuroscientist and associate professor of philosophy. “When you forgive someone for a wrongdoing, you don’t forget the event. But once you forgive, the memory doesn’t hurt as much.”
