Forgiveness: Are we Also to Forget?

I once heard an expression ... Orthodox are not perfect, just forgiven. While we should forgive perfectly in an ideal world, we aren\'t perfect. But we should try. Now having said that I like to think of David and Bathsheba (2 sam 11-12) whenever I think of forgiveness. If you remember the story from the OT David (of David and Goliath) fell in love with a married gal (while she was taking a bath of course) and sent her husband off to war to die so he could have her. The husband died, God didn\'t like what David did, and sent a man named Nathan to rebuke him. David realized what he did and God imposed some consequences. His son died (if that was a punishment or not I don\'t know) but David was forgiven. So following God\'s example, yes there is forgiveness for wrongs done, but there are always consequences we still must deal with. Oh and as a side note, David and Bathsheba had another son later, perhaps you\'ve heard of him, King Solomon.
