Forgive n Forget?


No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions, in life you are going to make mistakes and you're going to end up hurting people... People you 'love'.. and you're going to get hurt. And if you ever hope to recover, there's really only one thing you can do - the old adage stands true - "Forgive and Forget!"

BUT - is it really DOABLE??


When someone hurts us.. we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us.. we want to be right.

Without forgiveness old scores never settled.. old wounds never heal... Let's not forget though that if you forgive someone, you automatically forfeit the right to constantly throw in their face reminding them of what they did!

As they say "Forget" doesn't heal, "Forgive" does..

Then again you could argue that "Forgive" alone wont get us that far - we HAVE to "Forget"!

So.. the most we could all hope for is that one day we'll be lucky enough to forget.

In retrospect - I think I've always forgiven people simply because I still want them in my life...

To cross or not to cross...


It's all about lines..and there is the most important line.The line separating you from the people you meet in life. It doesn’t help to get too familiar. To make friends. You need boundaries. Between you and the rest of the world. Drawing lines in the sand. And praying like hell no one crosses them.At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So you can waste your life drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines …… that are way too dangerous to cross. Here’s what I know. If you’re willing to take the chance, the view from the other side is spectacular.
