Forgive. Usually said as "Are you Mochel me?" (Do you forgive me?) that is often asked around this time of year.

How can someone say no?

@yehuda, are you מוחל me?

Yes. Are you מוחל me?

(See, it works like that, Chaim.)

How can someone say no?

If you did something terribly wrong to them?
The idea is that one should ask forgiveness from anyone they harmed in the past year as G-d can forgive for sins between man and G-d but isn't going to just forgive you for hurting another person without you receiving forgiveness from that person himself.

They're supposed to really mean it, not just say it.

I mean if someone was sincere in asking for forgiveness wouldn't it look bad for someone to say no?

[grodnoking]

Here's a question. I've been told you can not ask mechila thru texting or such. But if the only way I've had contact to all these people is thru texting (or in this case posting on this forums) can I ask thru another post?

[grodnoking]

In any case
מוחל לך, מוחל לך, מוחל לך
To anyone who needs my forgiveness.
And I ask for forgiveness from anyone who I may have hurt and bothered.

It might look bad but its gotta be sincere, not just to look good.

What kind of question is this? If someone beated me up and I ended up in thee hospital and that guy comes now and asks a sincere Mechilah, am I a bad guy for not being Mochel?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

It might look bad but its gotta be sincere, not just to look good.

It would be hard to know until after the person was forgiven. That persons actions would then show if it was sincere or not.

I don't know and that is why I asked the question.

[etech0]

Mochel doesn't necessarily mean that you are not pained by what the person did, rather, it means that you do not wish any harm upon them because of what they did.

On that note,

מוחל לך, מוחל לך, מוחל לך
To anyone who needs my forgiveness.
And I ask for forgiveness from anyone who I may have hurt and bothered.

If someone can't forgive due to how bad he was wronged he should let the guy know & they should try to work it out or come to some understanding.
