You do it without thinking about it. Not thinking about how the other side will receive it or not carring because you have been hurt first, have been let down first and then after the beginning is made we lose sight of the real reason it started. Nobody knows but all believe to know who is responsible. Because there isn't just this one comment, this one member, this one reason but many of all. If emotions boil over there is no reason just feelings and if that happens thinks are said, which would have better be remained unspoken. And now that we think about it, our heads and hearts have cooled down we find that we are not able to take them back all that easily. Ahem has to learn this lesson in the moment as well. Now he wished he kept his cool but in the situation he couldn't.
It is very hard to forgive. It needs inner strength but it also needs the other person working hard to show that they deserve forgiveness. I don't believe that simply saying I didn't mean it or I am sorry if I did that or that will be enough.
However it is not good to hold on to hard feelings. What is your gain? What will it give you to not forgive? It will give you pain. It will make you think again and again about things that hurt you, that pull you down and make you sad. But if you should try to fogive what will it give you? Another person, who was hurt also but now is willing to help you over your pain as he helps you over yours. It will give you the possibility to joke about with them again. Be happy again. To put the hurtful past behind.
Everyone deserves a second chance and I believe this forum does as well. We all deserve as well. Yes I have been hurt or let down by things that went on here. Yes I also have let people down, I hurt people, which I didn't intend to do, but I didn't think, which no good excuse, if it is one at all. I am no innocent. No saint. I am responsible as well as many others on both 'sides'.
I know sorry is not enough but still it has to be said. I am sorry for the part I played. I am sorry for hurting anyone or letting anyone down. I am sorry. You can accept this apology or you cannot do so. It is simply your decision and nobody will be able to make it for you.
Lastly I wish all the forum members all the best and that there will be a time when you come to this forum again and feel like smiling or if you deceid to leave all the best and a life full of smiles and happiness.
