English term
My parents raised us to forgive and forget
Le contexte : un jeune homme dont la soeur a été tuée (ayant également perdu ses parents mais longtemps avant) répond aux question d'un policier et lui fait comprendre qu'il n'a pas de grief contre l'accusé. Essai : "Mes parents nous ont toujours appris à oublier et à pardonner". Bizarre, non ?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

oui, sauf que vous inversiez "pardonner" et "oublier", alors que la séquence est essentielle :-)
Cela ressemble beaucoup à la solution que je proposais, non ? |

Chez nous, la règle, c'était pardonne et oublie!
(mais ça ajoute des syllables)
nos parents nous ont inculqué l'indulgence
et indulgence (le pardon et l'oubli)
Reference comments
Discussion thread concerning the Biblical precedent
Answerer 6
Actually that phrase is not found anywhere in the Bible.
It does tell us to forgive and part of that is that we don't bring it back up or hold it over someone's head, because when Christ forgives us He doesn't hold it over our heads or bring it up, but it is blotted out of his remembrance, the Bible says. But the actual words, "forgive and forget" is just an old saying, not in a verse.
Have a blessed day.

Answerer 7
Ephesians 4:32 is a pretty good passage that suggests this principle.
Hebrews 8:12 says that God will "be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and lawlessness I will remember no more." I believe that these two passage taken together give us the command to "forgive and forget."
