Depending on the offence and how close of a person commits it, all foru combinations are possible for me:
Not forgive and not forget, Forgive but not forget, Not forgive but forget; and forgive and forget.
Many times though it does not even register that ther WAS an offence!

Its seems you are good at Permutations and combinationas apart from mutations!!!😆

Normally people just mention.. forgiven and forgeton. But the thing is we won't forget what mistake they have made, how it has hurt us and what has happned then. Its just a saying because in the back of our minds we will rememba what they have done

when people commit mistakes whicchhurt the other's phsically as well as mentally, they cme n say 'sorry' : Many times people don't even say sorry. Many times they say sorry for some reason may be to look good or may be some kind of pressure on them, but never mean from their heart at all. In fact look for opportunity to make other person look bad to take revenge, as theye never meant to say sorry.

the person can forgive the other person for the mistake he/she has done but cannot forget it : I partly agree on this one, as a human being it's not easy to forget the hurt you got. Sometimes it may be somehting which is not easlity forgettable anyway. It takes time to do that so I think we need to give time to other person to heal his/her wound. In case we are sincere in saying sorry then we should try not to hurt the person again & sooner or later person realizes it, but if we do hurt them again the older things come to their mind which is very natural...so we need to be very careful.

every1 can forgive but none can forget : No don't agree on this at all. Not everyone can forgive & not all remember all the time, depend on situation/ circumstances & person involved in. We are all human beings & we all make mistakes, no one is perfect in this world.

To forgive and forget
Is to acknowledge the fact that every human is not flawless. : Correct & I completely agree on this that no one is perfect and we all have our own shortcomings and make mistakes somewhere sometime.

Even ourselves have done something wrong in the past.
Without forgiveness from the people who surround us,
where will we be? : We all will be in revenge state, ehich is not good for our society. But efforts need to be made on both parties.

making mistakes is how we learn, and change for the better, to not forgive someone is to hate them for their past : Don't understand exactly what you mean here, but yes we should learn from our mistakes and by forgiving other we give the chance to other person to improve and may be a better person for tomorrow.

but even if we can forgive people can we forget vat they hve done to us?: Yes that can be done but take time. Time helas everything...we just nee dto work on it, it's tough but not impossible.
