Depends on the topic. You only get the benefit of the doubt once.

Hmmmm let me perhaps reframe this? Holding a grudge only hurts me (or hurts the one holding the grudge). So when we forgive the gift is more to ourselves than others.

Forgiveness can be tough depending on circumstances yet do my best to come to terms with forgiveness as soon as possible for my own healing! Lack of forgiveness can harbor resentments.

As @A myHIVteam Member mentioned, forgiveness is an act of self-love. So, I’m quick to forgive, unfortunately I have an elephant’s memory. First time, shame on you, second time… well u know where I’m going with this…

Be kind to urself, enjoy your journey and surround urself with those who support and love u unconditionally.

For me benefit of the doubt, acknowledges the human factor. No ones perfect. Forgiveness of for the repeat offender or more severe issues.
