Forgetting - is Forgiving?

"The best way to forgive, is to forget." This is a lesson in William Shakespeare's plays, The Tempest. It means that to forgive a person, one must stop remembering or feeling pain to the person who committed a mistake.
I had this experience before. I had a fight with my sister, Katryn. We had a little conflict because she was joking around and her jokes were already hurtful so I hit her in the shoulder. This happened when we were in a car, going back from the mall. My mother got mad at me but I was trying to say that it was her fault. There was awkwardness inside the car even as we reached home. We didn't talk. We went upstairs and we went on like the other wasn't there, like we don't exist for each other. But as time passed, I just noticed that we were talking again, being friendly and asking for each other for help at the same day. This really shows how I used forgetting as a way to forgive.
For me, I think it is a good method since we don't need words to feel that the pain is gone since we already know in ourselves that we have forgiven each other. We didn't need words, or more accurately, a confirmation of friendship again. Sometimes, we forgive but it is not really from the heart. There might still be pain, sadness, and hate so what is the use of forgiving. We choose to forget what has been done since we already know that everything is okay and that everything is in the past. There is a more sense of trust between the two persons since they already felt that it is not needed to be discussed anymore. Yes, even though it had a big effect on you, you , yourself, knows that there is nothing you can do to it but accept it because that is just how life goes. Things come and go and you accept them and learn from them since that is what God has given to you. If you really learned from something like a mistake, you should have already used it to yourself and not keep it since if you did really learn from it, why did you save it and just use it later on? But of course, save those really special ones, because they are the moments that had shaped you the way you are. Never forget those who helped you in your journey and it never hurts to reminisce on things.
To put it shortly, I also forget to forgive.
