The guy on the right is right because he’s keeping to the right and has the right-of-way. The guy on the left will have to practice what he preaches and ask for forgiveness. (at least in the U.S.)
As cdward said elsewhere, change forget to let go. One truly never forgets a slight. But if the person tries to change, and they do not repeat whatever they did , do not continuously bring it up to them. If they are working on changing and they slip up (depending on what “it” is, don’t bring up the past evils
Common sense: Look before you leap but he who hesitates is lost. Absence makes the heart grow fonder but out of sight, out of mind. Birds of a feather flock together but opposites attract. Many hands make light work but too many cooks spoil the broth. You’re never too old to learn but you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
I really don’t know where “Forgive and Forget” came from. Prayers are offered to God to ‘remember it not against us.’ God remembers, but does not hold it against us. We, too, can forgive, but will always remember. So, we, too can learn from the past and never forget it.
“Experiential interview questions ask job candidates to describe scenarios related to their past work performance. Also known as behavioral interviewing, experiential questions are helpful for hiring managers who want insight into how candidates might act on the job.” – Business and psychology believe that what you did before is the best indicator of what you’ll do in the future. This suggests that “forgive and forget” is a poor choice, because the person will do the same thing again.
Now if the guy on the left was Trump the Terrible Tyrant, then his face would be orange and the sign would read “Forgive, Forget, Send Money to a Billionaire, and Reelect”. In this case, the guy on the right is correct. Vote in the 2022 elections because you learned from the past which should never be forgotten.
I learned to forgive and remember. I don’t get mad at the perpetrator, but I don’t allow myself to get in that situation again. “You are forgiven, but you no longer have access to the…”
just a tidbit for those who claims to never forget — the mechanism for memory decay is baked into our biology. The rac protein facilitate memory decay. i.e. so in a way, we are made to be able to forget things.
The question really is — how do we tweak the mechanism to serves our purposes?

It’s drawn backwards. The Left wants to learn from 1/6 and never forget. The Right wants to forgive & forget (according to DJT).

You can forgive but still remember something. That is how you learn from it.

The one on the right is more correct for me.Yes, we should forgive in the vast majority of cases but if you don’t remember 5he past how do you learn?
