Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17283308 What contradictory and cowardly bullshit.
Here is what I believe. I believe in CONSEQUENCES. If someone does something unforgivable then they are OUT of my life. According to your bullshit I should just forgive them, keep them in my life and let them screw me over again.
And you know what pride is a GOOD thing. If you aren't proud of yourself then maybe there is a fucking reason for it eh?
So take your moralistic, better-than-thou attitude and shove it up your ass.
I take it you kinda like the dark side of things?
Forgiving someone does not mean letting them stay in your life..
It just means not letting what they did to you get you down forever.
Forgiveness also means in its essence to NOT hurt them for hurting you.
Ive been hurt plenty. But what I did even in the pain of betrayal was chose NOT to retaliate and bring myself down to their level.
Fire cannot put out fire.
Forgiving someone does not mean being a dorrmat. But it also means not being a mad cannon shooting everyone dead who ever hurt you either with words or actions.
Bear the pain and move on.
You keep these people IN your life by always mulling over what they did.
If you find yourself ten years down the track still angry at them..they are STILL in your life even if you have not seen them in ten years.
