Simplified Meaning:
It's important to forgive people who have hurt you, but you shouldn't forget who they are or what they did. This means letting go of anger and not seeking revenge, but staying aware of the person's actions so you can protect yourself in the future. For instance, imagine a friend who betrayed your trust by sharing a secret. You might forgive them to move on and feel better yourself, but you wouldn’t trust them with another secret again. This way, you’re being kind and not holding a grudge, but also being smart and careful. Applying this in life helps you maintain peace without putting yourself at risk of repeated harm.
