Wonders

What is it exactly that makes a person be able to forgive and forget? Sometimes I look at other people and I wonder how it is that they have been through something so terrible and yet they live their lives as if it never happened. I think to myself, wow how can they do that? I wouldn't be able to go on with my life if something so terrible were to happen to me. Some people have this will in them and it is amazing to witness such courage. To be in the presence of something so great. Sometimes I wish I were stronger, that I had the strength to move on. I have the ability to forget, but do I hold the ability to forgive?
