Forgive and Forget.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
For as long as I can remember, that is what we are taught.
But I can't help but wonder, when is it time to put your foot down and say no? I will not forgive. And I will not forget. Enough is enough.
It seems to me that my forgiveness is very large in abundance. Towards my friends, and family, and teachers, and especially Sam. When he messes up and treats me like shit and sends me to a really dark place, the next day as soon as he asks it's fine again.
But what about me?
What about when I mess up, and I ask his forgiveness he is almost ready to end everything. I don't understand.
Why is everyones patience with me so thin, and for the most part I'm ready to forgive within the hour?
Much love,
Jane Doe.
