Brownie, yes...u of all ppl should know how this goes lol. But, as much as I love, I'm no fool(normally, minus this instance). Ur right, "But if they piss me off somehow, I'm not going to allow them the chance to do it again."...that's how Geo thinks too...and she'll definitely follow thru. I still think ur way nicer than she is, despite the same mentality lol!
Here's a great quote:
Numbers 14:18 The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished.
I love, I love as much as I can...but definitely cannot strive to unconditionally love *everyone*...in fact, I don't. That's a lil un-human and unrealistic. I do reserve most of my love towards a select few, and even still don't love them unconditionally. It's a goal, but it's not easily attainable.
Loving someone doesn't mean I waive all rights to "punish" their mistakes...If u betray me, it won't go unnoticed and will reap repercussions...Through love, I'll forgive, but my trust in u is shot. I believe in justice...so no, loving ppl doesn't mean I become this blob to take advantage of. I'm not naive, just more tolerant than most...which can hurt me too, yes. And yes, i'm going through it right now...but that's my issue remember? lol That's why i wrote this post...cuz i dunno why i'm allowing it to happen now -_-;...I'm gonna give it a lil more time tho...it's not a super-hero complex...it's more of a matter of resolving something. If things stay the same, then there will be less of a friendship in the end. Easy enough. Being treated well is a direct correlation to being appreciated, and that's a big deal to me.
I was actually really happy to read ur reply. I see ur growth, and it makes me proud of u for finally stepping up from ur sweet nature. Ur really forgiving Brownie, for what u've been thru. I admire that in u.
