I should be a more forgiving person. So, instead of wasting time contemplating it, I'm just going to go ahead and do it. Everyone who I blocked on Xanga, Facebook, and YouTube, are all unblocked. I have a few hundred people blocked on Xanga. I had a few random people blocked on YouTube. On Facebook, I had blocked a few bullies from my grade school years.
Even though I am always right, 100% of the time, sometimes it's best just to let others have their own opinions. You cant convert everyone. So, if you're a subscriber of mine, I urge you to find someone in your life who you've had a fight with, and forgive them. Who knows, maybe you'll get back in touch with an old best friend? I forgave one of my friends a few months ago, and we've been on good terms ever since then. I think that we both have grown up quite a bit since then, you may be surprised to see the positive changes that the other person in your life has gone through since you last talked to them!

good post
Hm, when you say 'forgive' then 'best friend', I think back to last summer. Though I have no intentions for 'forgiving' its just that we grew apart and changed. I think it was because she was starting college and well, I was not. Anyway, there was more stuff to it, though I'm sure you don't want to hear about it.
Long story short: I have no one to forgive 'cause I'm awesome
HM. I CAN'T NOT FORGIVE. I AM TOO FORGIVING. YAYYYA! GOOD FOR Y'ALL THOUGH. IT FEELS ALL BETTER NOW, RIGHT? A LITTLE? YEAH. HOPE IT DOES. I'M RIGHT 100.001% OF THE TIME
Oh yes... Although, over two thirds of the time I am the Forgived not the Forgiver. I've learned to just Forgive and Forget, not living to regret. Totally, though. I forgot what else I was going to write... hmmm... that sucks. Great post ^.^ I am ALL for- giving. Giving for. I forgive.
No problem.
As for me, my problem isn't about forgiveness. It's that some people are consistent with their crappy behavior, which makes me indifferent toward them and unwilling to bend backwards. So instead of a grudge it's more like, "You suck, but life moves on and I don't necessarily have to stay in touch with you."

It does feel better. It's good to see people who didnt need my reminder to forgive people.

I agree, sometimes you can forgive people too much. People need to be punished for shitty behavior, if everyone kept hanging around them regardless of how they acted then they dont care how they act. And you cant change everyone, so if they didnt catch on the first few times I stopped talking to them, then I just straight-up ignore them until their behavior DOES change. It's good to see that you know better and can move on. I hate when I see good friends of mine being used by bad people who claim to be their "friends".
I like forgiveness, but I'm afraid I am much too forgiving. Eh, this is the curse of tortured souls. But anyway, forgiveness is the product of being mature.
yeah, sometimes it's just better to be the bigger person, even though it's hard
btw, you go to UofM?! I live in Holland! (:
