Forgiveness.
I've been thinking recently. What makes forgiveness so important to us as human beans? When we do something wrong, that we know hurts another person, we instantly want to make it better. Why is it so important? Invariably, it's not because we actually feel sorry, let's be honest. We don't actually feel bad for the hurt or the pain we've caused. It's just to make us feel better. So we know, hey there's no bad feelings between us. It's alright. We can move on, continue as it was.
I often wonder if I'm too forgiving. A few things that have happened over this past month that I've instantly said, 'yeah, it's okay. Don't worry about it.' But then later, I've thought...should I have been so easy about it all? If the shoe was on the other foot (on some of these situations), I would be mortified with guilt.
I guess it's my way of coping. At the end of the day, I can't be bothered with all the hassle of having to keep up being angry. And I don't like change. Change has a lot to do with it. I like things staying as the were/are. So I try to forget about things. I try not to let things bother me. I take it with a shrug. We all make mistakes. I do this so hopefully, relationships can stay the same.
Am I wrong for being like this? Do people walk all over me? Sometimes I think so. But imagine if we remembered every bad word and deed said against us. Wouldn't we end up without any friends?
I'm not quite sure what I'm going on about today. Oh, and just so you know, I'm not talking about anyone or anything in specific. I just had some stuff I needed to sort out in my head. This isn't a blog like I usually post...I'm feeling a lil bit emo today.
Anyway, I shall return once more akin to the usual Claudia soon.
Till next time...
