Some people are hard to forgive and most times it's impossible to forget.

Best I can say is weigh each person's action(s) as to what they did to you and act accordingly within your heart.

Most of the time it is pretty easy to forgive but sometimes when someone really strikes you hard? It's almost impossible. But always keep an open mind and try to forgive as all that resentment inside isn't good for you. Pretty much depends on what was done and how harmful it was to you. Always try to forgive when you can.

To quote Tolliver Groat. "I'd rather upset a god than Postmaster Rumbelow. Gods FORGIVE!""

You can forgive most things, even occasionally, cat ownership.

How easy it is depends on the severity of the "crime" commited.

Regardless, forgiveness is a gift not only for the person that has done you wrong .. But, more importantly to yourself.  Forgiveness can release a very destructive emotion .. Anger. It's far better to deal with anger issues through forgiveness than to hold it in. Anger can eat you alive!

Can you forgive a person or blood relative and not love or like them?

Yes .. you can. Blood does not dictate "love" .. nor "like". Both emotions are a personal choice. Further .. You can love someone without liking them .. and you can like someone without loving them.

Hard?---it can be; but it's necessary to do so.

But, if you are in the position of having been harmed by another and needing to forgive him; be sure you have recovered from the harm sufficiently so that your pain does not cloud the process and your forgiveness does not prevent you from healing.

It depends. Butbin the end, it doesn't matter how easy or hard it isis to forgive. The thing is the person who doesn't forgive someone is the person who suffers most. If you forgive, you are the one finding peace.

It is difficult. It could be good if you could forgive them. But in farsi we have a saying that goes: you need to remove the tooth that aches! So itno means you need to let them go, but forgive them at the same time not for them, for yourself!
