TexAngel's blog post - Morning pondering

Monday, June 12, 2017, 2:13:57 PM
I read something this morning that resonated with me for a couple of reasons

"Forgive someone who doesn't deserve it"

I had someone ask me the other day why I still care about people who treat me like crap. That's a simple answer and maybe it makes me stupid, but it's because I care. Simple as that. Why harbor feelings of resentment? That doesn't hurt anyone but me. Some of my friends have problems bigger than anyone can understand. I get that. So, yes they do treat me like crap sometimes, but I feel I'm a better person by being there when their tantrum is over and being their friend. I don't turn my back on my friends or people I care about, period.

Also forgiving people who aren't sorry for their actions. This is one I'm having to really remember right now.

In the end the anger and grudges you hold on to only tear you apart. They will make you crazy! Make you do and say things you'd never say which I am very quilty of! I've decided to forgive them even though they don't feel bad or are they sorry for what they did. I'm doing it for me and for my well being, not for them.

So forgive. Be happy.

To be able to forgive is divinity in itself.

Such a good movie!! For once I'll say one movie that was better than the book that I had to put down and walk away from for months because I had a d. aughter that age at the time.

Arti, there are of course something's that are unforgivable, but trying to let it go rather than letting you eat you up is a very alternative. <3

Not sure about divinity, but it's better than holding on to anger for sure. :)
