“All this time I was waiting that you would turn around,
I have given enough chances but all you do is let me down….”
We all in our lives would have been let down by atleast a hundred times by the people that we love, but where do we draw the line and stop forgiving? Or do we just go on pretending like everything’s fine just so that we don’t have to deal with the repercussions of a reaction? Just so that we don’t end up drained and lonely?
To err is human but isn’t the person on the receiving end a human too? And what if you are that person who’s wronged? How do you move on from the time when you were hurt and were expected to forgive just because it’s the right thing to do? Don’t we even deserve to react? Do we have to keep suppressing our emotions every step of the way just so that we don’t offend anyone?
Even if forgiveness is the way to go, how much can a person take? Where does one draw a line? Where do we straighten up and stand up for ourselves? So many questions with barely enough answers!
From someone who has some idea, honestly it gets really hard at times, after some time; to be sweet and forgiving all the time. Because it starts feeling like fingers choking out every bit of air from within. Like screaming with all might possible and making sure not to make a sound. So the next time you make a mistake, before expecting forgiveness, ask yourself if you really deserve it.
Because it sure is easy to err; but divinity is a hard virtue to live with.
