And although being forgiving sometimes feels as though you are a little bit foolish and sometimes like you are alone wandering in the dark, I still choose to be the one who forgives, and therefore sleeps better without a burden of anger, bitterness or disappointment.
I wont do the job for anyone else, they need to live with themselves and their sins, and maybe one day forgive themselves for being assholes...
Thank you M. for your post today, I so love this word "asshole"... I think I missed it all all my life

I think those who measure help us grow. Perhaps you meant it differently.

Measure like measure out, evaluate is maybe a better choice of word... I am sorry I am not better in English

Compassion and understanding are never a weakness, though sometimes, they may be undeserved.

Alles gute, as they say around these parts!


ExNameForUse replies on 3/7/2023 2:28 pm:
I really, really want to believe there is something good in everyone what makes them worth forgivness for their wrongdoings.
I know they knew what and why they did what they did. But I am gladly leaving them to live with their own conscious, if any.
I need and value more my peace.
All the best to you, too, R. Good to see you...

I also believe we meet three
different types of people in
life; Those that helped you
in a difficult time . . Those
that left you in a difficult time . .
And those that put you in a
difficult time.
We are not given a life that is
to be judged, measured or
forgiven by others . . We are
simple given life, it's up to us
to judge it, give it measure
and forgive ourselves when
needed.

When you compare yourself
to others, you insult yourself.

Not sure I understood your last statement and how it refers to my post and point of view, but anyway... thank you for sharing your thoughts on life, and people we meet through it. It is always appreciated.

Ex,
I admire that, very much in you.

I dont know if i am able, to do just that.

I can see, others have their own ... ? karma to life out....
be it bad or good, that is a judgement, too....

Compassion is not always appreciated or understood....
Just used to get what ever it is "they" think, can get out of it...
I wont 'play' that game.
shun those.... as much as possible.

Does that even make sense?


ExNameForUse replies on 3/7/2023 2:34 pm:
Thank you, Rosa. I think in the end, one day, we all get what we deserve.
And sometimes life just put you in position to show you are a human being, above all other things that bothers you, hurt you, or whatever else.
There is good in everyone, even the tiniest, and in the name of that tiny good, my choice tend to be forgivness... the rest is not up to me

Once upon a time I held so much animosity to one person and then I realized I was missing so much good and was expending all my energies in the wrong place.


ExNameForUse replies on 3/7/2023 11:45 pm:
It takes time to understand it is wasting time and energy to hold to some negative feelings. It is self destructive, self sabotaging, and it is from my own experience. I would rather forgive, and at one point, let things go, when the time for that comes and is right.

what about those who teach you?
those that accept you for you & are their for you?
sometimes people can be all the above!
to forgive somebody isn’t necessarily for them but for yourself to let go & move on & heal!
& forgiving doesn’t necessarily mean forgetting or not being angry!
to forgive is to be divine!


ExNameForUse replies on 3/7/2023 11:39 pm:
You are correct, BDD. There are those important that will give us valuable lessons, teach us that some people are simply assholes. One of the lessons to learn is to accept that painful fact that some people are and will be assholes no matter what. Forgiveness in my case came after the anger has gone, or at least started fading... I don't think you can hold to anger and be able to forgive. And yes, forgiving is because of my own healing, not because it will make someone else become a better person. People are who they are. Letting go does not always come hand in hand with forgiving, in my opinion. Sometimes it will come a little later, in its own time.

All religious beliefs teach forgiveness as a main point, or are supposed to. One must forgive themselves, before they are truly capable of forgiving another, as is the same for love. Remember, too, that our names have meanings. Mine for example, is Daniel, which comes from the Biblical JUDGE noted for his time in the lions den, and Edward, which means protector of the rich. That, my middle name, doesn't seem to influence me much, as I never have used it. So, it comes down to balancing all three aspects of the self, that you mentioned, to make a whole human of yourself. Then, you have learned.


ExNameForUse replies on 3/7/2023 11:51 pm:
I am completely religiously indiferent. I dont care what any religion is preaching, as it all serves only one purpose, to control and rule.
Forgiveness is my personal choice. For my own benefit. I am actually doing it for my own benefit and for all selfish reasons

That is a beautiful picture!

It is best to forgive but it can be very hard at times, and sometimes, we just have to move on!

Jenny, thank you for saying something about the picture, as I loved it too when I saw it the first time and it reminded me of some times when I drifted among shadows wearing red in the hope that since red is for happiness it could transit to me a little bit of that happiness as well...
And, Jenny, yes... it is hard, especially when you are being deeply hurt and betrayed.

Oh, I'm glad you liked that, Ex. I kind of knew it would offend some, but it was true, so I let it ride.xx

Forgiving someone is the easy part. Especially if you never have to see the person again. The hard part is forgiving someone when they plan to stick around to do more damage.
I'm the type of person that can take a lot of shit. Then I get to a point of no return. There is no coming back for me. Some people use "I'm sorry" as a get-out-of-trouble thing. Then they keep on fucking up. I don't play that game. Once somebody has hurt me, I'm done.

ExNameForUse replies on 3/8/2023 6:24 am:
I still have a lot of work to do to come to that point which I find the correct one, but I am still too weak, or whatever else, to just cut the ties and say now I am done.
It must be there are some underlying issues, but for that, I should consult a professional.... thanks again for sharing a little bit of your true self here, dear M xxx

You’re just right !


ExNameForUse replies on 3/8/2023 12:21 pm:
I love when I am right
Thank you.. time will show if I am right or wrong, but at this time it seems the right thing to do... not everything is just black and white... sometimes we must see the wider picture, and take into account many different circumstances...
