"To err is human, to forgive, divine."
I've believed in this my entire life. I believe in giving everyone extra chances. Forgiving them for their past misdeeds in the hopes that they can become a better person, live a better life, be a better friend. Maybe I'm wrong.
How often do we listen to the little things that we want to hear, or believe the words that stoke our egos? Every day dear reader. Every single day. We like hearing those things, they're a huge part of what makes us forgive those who have hurt us. But maybe we need to listen instead to the truth that lies under the surface. Maybe we need to rethink our divinity.
How many lies are enough? What canceled appointment will be the last? How many broken promises is too many?
At what point do we go from Saint to Sucker?
And once we're there is it ever possible to tip the scales back and regain what we once had?
