Folks think when I say 'don't worry about it, it's nothing' that I've forgiven them, but what I've actually done is turned off emotionally from 'it' and 'a little more' from them.


That is precisely what I do.....funny that !

Something said in a bad mood or anger could be forgiven if the person seems truly repentant. I can forgive a mean remark---put a betrayal, I could never really forget. If I can't trust someone, I can't respect them. If I can't respect them, I don't really want them to be a part of my life.


TRUE STORY

If you cannot trust somebody, then you have no respect, and if you have no respect, then why would you even want them to be involved in your daily life?

Everything comes in degrees. Some people I can't trust when they're drinking. Some I can't trust with an important secret. Some I can't trust to repay a loan.



But I have people with these - um - "afflictions" that I would never turn my back on, never in a lifetime, because they are my friends. I just trust secrets with the loan welch, go drinking with the gossip, and keep my money to myself.

My charming co-worker asked if the addressee got the email, while he was still sitting there, right next to us. I looked at him and asked, "Hey John, did you get my email yet?"



Are you getting my drift here?:rolleyes:


Yes. Yes I am. I know you hate me but your so damned adorable ! :wah:
