Next Step?

This post is not directed at anyone in particular, just felt i should do this since i talked about forgiveness. Wanted to blog yesterday night but was too tired.

Usually people miss out the next step after forgiveness. What next step? After forgiving, we shouldn't bring up a past event again to spite another person. If we happen to bring up the event again, it shows we haven't fully forgiven that person yet. But forgiving and forgetting are different things. We may remember the incident, but forgiving means that that situation doesn't have a hold over us anymore. It eliminates thoughts of revenge.

Then the other party, the one being forgiven, does it mean we can just continue doing wrong since the person will probably forgive us again? I don't think so. Why are you still doing this? The person didn't have to forgive you, he/she could live with the anger/hurt caused by your act forever if he/she wanted to. This point kind of shows what kind of moral values you have. Do you continue to hurt/anger that person or do you learn from the lesson and try never to repeat that situation again? Being forgiven once doesn't mean that you would be forgiven the next time. Will you be able to live with the guilt? Or do you not care if you never get forgiven? Life can be full of unnecessary burdens, and one of it is living without forgiving or forgiven.

Yesterday's paper was fine, should do ok for it. Next up today, paper at 4pm. Strange tiem to have a paper... Out to take away my studying time... Evil common-test-timetable-arranging people... Oh well, should get back to revision soon. See yah.

When one starts talking to his teddy bears for no reason, is it a sign of madness??
