Asking for Forgiveness

For this requires a person to humble themselves. Yet also granting forgiveness can also be a humbling experience. Both require a person to also look at themselves and realize they too are only human....

Actually neither is. Not putting yourself in either position is...

Asking for Forgiveness

They are both equally hard. The thing most people don't understand, if you don't do something that need to be forgiven, then you won't need to do either.

Granting Forgiveness

I have no problem with either. If I've hurt someone or offended them then I will ask for forgiveness! If someone has hurt me, then it depends on what has happened. But I'm a very forgiving person and I will forgive them. But if they hurt me again, then that's it.

Fortunately, I've never been badly hurt by anyone that I couldn't forgive....sometimes it's hard to forget though.

When I have been wronged, it is hard to Trust that person again...
Takes time to get over that wrong...
If I am wrong, I have no problem telling someone I have made a mistake...Have done so Here, on a Poll last year, appologizing to one person in particular, by Name, who I wronged...

Asking is like begging, granting is pious, in my opinion.

Asking for Forgiveness

ACTUALLY NEITHER BUT NONE OF THE ABOVE WAS AVAILABLE

I can admit when I am wrong and I also forgive what others do to me. Jesus said if you don't forgive others, I won't forgive you of your sins

Forgiving others is far easier and more rewarding

Asking for forgiveness even through I can admit when I am wrong, we all have some level of pride but we just have to suck it up and admit we were wrong

Hey, cool. I'm the tie breaker. It's easy to apoligize but to ask for forgiveness is much harder than it should be.

For me it's asking. why you ask, well because like most humans i'm inherently selfish. Although most won't admit it. Asking for forgiveness puts us in a passive vulnerable position already, then you must ask someone to say they forgive what you/I did, they might say go screw yourself.Rejection on top of guilt is not good for the human psyche. Better yet let's try not to f-up in the first place

Granting forgiveness, in some cases,can be almost impossible! Sometimes we have to ask God to do it.

I find there are some I just can't forgive. For what was done was too damnable to forgive! If they had asked for forgiveness, and admitted to the wrongs they committed, I could forgive. But to never have asked for forgiveness, nor to even at least admit those wrongs, (they know who they are, and they know what they did) is in, and of itself, unforgivable. They are no longer worth wasting another moments worth of my time on. In the scheme of things in life, they mean nothing to me.

Asking for Forgiveness

To me... the asking! For Im very, very quick to forgive someone who sincerely request. Actually, Im already forgiving before they even ask.... but that is to my benefit more than theirs! I just HATE for the sun to go down on ANY anger I hold.... makes it a very long, long night in thinking about it! Old Salt

I know for me personally, it is harder to forgive some transgressions people have done to me, and I know deep down I need to let some hurtful things go or one day it will eat me up inside. But, I know to say "I forgive you" are only simple spoken words, but if the heart does not feel the same then the words are meaningless. A character flaw I am still working on daily.

Both are hard but asking for forgiveness means you are in the subservient position. With granting forgiveness, you are in the position of power.
