17. Almost always forgive
seldom forget, but part of forgiving is to not throw the past in someone's face either. To me, not forgetting means perhaps not giving them the same opportunity to do _______ again to me, depending on the offense. In other words, I don't think not forgetting is necessarily a bad thing - we all make mistakes and being able to forgive most of them is a good thing, but forgetting means you might keep getting taken advantage of someone unscrupulous enough to not care that their "mistake" wasn't a mistake but a way to be an asshole.
