RE: What's the scent of your violets?

in #gems4 years ago

it is always easy to forgive someone we love. you never want to believe his mistake. This is usually the case. If there is truly love, it is very difficult to hold a grudge. this is of course not true. to compromise our personality and ourselves and to disrespect ourselves. but sometimes the heart works before the brain. maybe it's just a matter of character. I am not someone who can be logical enough. There is a lot that I forgive and ignore..

Sort:  

Hey! Holding a grudge can be detrimental. There is an old saying how if you plan to give back revenge, you better dig two graves. Anger consumes people. But also forgiving can be bad if we do it constantly without letting the other know what hurt us in the first place.

I now believe in the power of saying calmly the things that hurt you so people would know. Of course that there is the risk of them not caring, not apologising, not changing. But at least we will feel good with ourselves for making the courage to speak our mind and show that we were hurt by some behaviors.

Thank you for reading😊
