  • Forgiveness

    Some say that forgiveness is like pulling a nail (i.e., the bad act) from wood. Getting the nail out is the forgiveness, but the hole left behind will always remain.

    True forgiveness, however, is like pulling a nail from a glass of water. Ripples may remain for a while, but eventually, the water will show no evidence that the nail was ever there.

    What type of forgiver are you?

  • in my experience, i've found that most chicks are spackle forgivers... meaning they fill up the hole that's left behind w/spackle, but they always know where the spot is so they can dig that shit out again whenever you end up in another argument about something completely unrelated several months later.

  • I see you're not that busy at work, eh? Hey, what firm are you at? Hope everything is well.

    As for being a forgiver, if someone truly says sorry to me, I don't ever hold a grudge... so I guess I would say I'm more like the water.

  • that sounds to me like the difference between forgiving and forgetting.

  • i've a very good forgiver....since i've forgiven you about a lot of crap you've done in the past, bitch! hahaha

  • when i'm really wronged, like really really wronged, i will never forget. i might forgive but the hole will always be there. and the person who nailed that hole usually pays dearly because of it for a long long time.

  • im the first type u can forgive but u rarely forget

  • Easy to anger, quick to forgive... but never, ever forget.  Wrongful behavior may be due to simple mistakes, but more often than not it's an indication of someone's true character.

    Burn me once, shame on you... but burn me again, shame on me.

  • so, i take it youre not a jet fan?  haha.

  • yea, but the water is left with all this rust at the bottom.

  • somewhere in between

  • RYC: lol what strip club did you go to? i'm a total amateur. bu thanks for the comment, you boosted my ego.

    i'm trying to get my bf to take me to a really REALLY good club so i can check out the girls. he's a little taken aback by my enthusiasm, hahaha

  • I'm a water forgiver. Not to say that I'm not somewhat affected by the wrongdoing... but I am always open to give people changes. We're not perfect, and we might not always understand the impact of our actions at the time. What is key is asking for forgiveness.

  • personally, imho (which may be wrong), the 2nd type of forgiveness doesn't exist. the nail marks are permanent.
