If a person lied to you, then told you the truth. Should you forgive them?

Yes I would forgive them and give them another chance at it as long as they keep their promises that they won't do it again but if they continue to not tell the truth then your trust for the person is going to diminish and the person won't trust you anymore.

yeah, that's one point. If they won't do it again. I would also forgive them with what they have done. As long as they are sincere.

Well it depends on what they lied about. "No that guns not loaded" BLAM "Just kidding....."

Yes. As Bruce Lee said Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

What if the lie was:

No that dress/suit doesn't make you look fat

yes, people should forgive each other, because in the end this person told truth. It means that he thought about it and decided to tell truth.

Side: Yes

My opinion, sure why not. Logically though, you should wait.

Forgiveness is easy to throw around, but sometimes you have to think about what it is you're forgiving. If you forgive a murder to quickly, and let them around you in situations like their first victim did, you could be their next one.

Side: Yes

Since the person admitted that he or she told a lie, the person should be forgiven.

Depends on what they lied about. If they said they didn't take a sip of my drink, when in fact they did, then I'll get over it. If they said they didn't sleep with my wife, when in fact they did, then I'd have trouble forgiving them.

No, I won't. If he couldn't tell me the truth in the first time, it means two things : either he/she doesn't believe me OR he/she isn't confident with decisions. Not forgiving will mend many things. Next time he/she will tell me the truth in the first attempt and will have strength & confidence with his decisions next time and will think twice before saying something.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

If you're dating someone and they say they aren't cheating on you and then a while later says that "I cheated on you", what do you say?

Side: No

Of course my first intuition was for me to get angry, but once you've really realized that this person had given up so much(pride) and took a risk in order for him or her to tell the truth, then I think I would just forgive him for that. Besides, who am I to judge him o her that what they did is not right. Im sure that at one point in my life, I have done the same thing too. So it's a matter of fairness.

Side: Yes
