“The strong can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the weak.” Taken from real life.
Um… respectfully… that’s a load of hooey. But I’ll forgive you.
@freople I feel very sorry for you. For you have yet to live
So your son lies to you, you don’t forgive and never trust him again? Don’t feel sorry for me. Living just fine. I’ll forgive you.
I didn’t get a response back from this guy but all of this did get me thinking…
I certainly understand the idea that forgivness can be percieved as a weakness but as most things that are percieved as weekness (kindness, love, etc…) it often takes much more strength to forgive than to hold the grudge.
I have this idea that our minds contain specific boxes for certain ideas, emotions and feelings. The kicker is that these boxes can not hold an infinate amount of crap. Eventually the box that holds hate (or any negative crap) fills up, bulges at the sides and spills over into other boxes until hate is infecting the other boxes in your mind. Being able to forgive and therefore love lowers the level of hate that would build up and spill over into other boxes.
Ok, so the boxes thing is a little weird, but it works for me. The point is… and this is good advice…
Take time to forgive, it’s the only way a relationship can move forward.
