response to rokhsor's blog: "we should forgive but never forget."

this is a response to one of rokhsor's blog post

My version of a famous quote goes like this, "You lie to me once, shame on you. You lie to me twice, shame on me." The quote means that once someone lies to you, shame on them because it was an act of stupidity on their part. If they lie to you another time, shame on you. The second part is "shame on me" because that would mean you would have forgiven who ever it was again and as I said before, they repeated themeselves. The whole point of this blog post is to talk about liars and people telling you all the wrong things. So here I go.

i think that she has an interesting view on this quote because i have heard it too, many times. i also have fallen for things more than once. one thing i do know is that the point of the quote is not to make you hate people who hurt you ONCE. the point of the quote is to warn you not the let them again. that being said, it becomes all about trust. unfortunately there is no real answer to a reason of why you should forgive someone, but not forgiving is the fastest way to learning how to hate. it is also a good way to gain a temper. i always thought that criminals were the worst thing ever and they should all burn die and go to hell, but when it all boils down to it everyone makes the same mistake twice, and it isn't always easy to forgive someone.

i'm not really a therapist or a smart kid but i have learned from the quote "forgive and forget" to forgive but never forget.

we are better than the people that put us down, because we don't put them down, there is no need. if someone talks about me, i do not start drama. i don't talk shit back, i leave them be. those type of people will never be happy. there was no reason to bring up the person that you did, so why start rumors and drama. its a cry for attention, and if someone wants the attention then they can have it. they can be forgiven after saying nasty stuff about me, but i will not forget and i will always take that into consideration.

i don't think by any means rokhsor is wrong for thinking how she does, but this is my own individual opinion.
