To err is to human and to forgive they say is divine. However, not everyone deserves forgiveness. I know you’d probably want to preach to me that even God forgives us so how much more we human. You’re right!
Everyone deserves a second and probably a third chance but there’s always those things we can’t just over look. Personally, I’m a very forgiving person. I don’t take things to heart because I value my peace of mind so much. Holding on to things which I won’t benefit from is really not something I find being worth the stress.
For most stuff, I always forgive but to forget, nah! I’d always remember what you did in all my dealings with you even though I have forgiven you. It’s more like it serving as a reference or lesson to me in order to know my boundaries with you. It’s a forgive and not forget situation for me.
But, there are some things that don’t deserve a second chance to me. For example, my best friend sleeping with my husband isn’t something I should or am supposed to just forgive and forget. Both parties involved would just have to be washed out of my life cos the betrayal is next level. Sometimes it’s not even the betrayal but the party involved and how much their actions hurt you.
Loyalty and honesty are very important to me and once I find out that someone isn’t loyal and honest, I wouldn’t be myself around them. However, sometimes we really don’t have an option in some situations . If I’m working with such a person after everything that has happened, I’m obviously going to keep it strictly professional no matter the kind of relationship we had before. Sometimes such betrayals are enough to take you to your early grave and this can’t be me. Affliction they say shall not befall you twice.
As snitches get stitches, betrayers don’t also deserve forgiveness!
all images belong to me.
