I watched Madia goes to jail tonight, and there was one part in the movie that really got me thinking. They where in jail and they had to take classes with a modivational speaker and she said that forgivesness is not about the other person, its about yourself. when you forgive someone, its not to do something for them, its to do something for you. I think about the grudges i have against stephine and corrissa and all the other people whov done fucked up shit to me in my life and i think of all the anger it causes and the tension and stress of just thinking about it, than I thought of how wonderful it would be to not have to have those feelings anymore. How wonderfull it would be to go to the mall or to delta and not have to worry about seeing someone i didnt like. How great it would feel to just forgive and live my life... I wouldnt be forgiving those girls beacuse I'm weak or beacuse I want to give in to there mean actions, I would be forgiving them for myself. So i can live a less stressfull life and not give anyone another moment of my attention that isnt nessasary.
It really changed how I view things. We all hate people for what they have done to us, but why do we continue to play the victum? Where does sitting around feeling sorry for ourselfs do in the end? It gets you no futher than the very spot you cry in. Lifes gonna hand you alot of fucked up news. If you think things wont change, they soon as you can blink will. Lifes is going to constantly be handing you people who arnt good for you, who treat you like crap and make you feel like a victum of some crime. Weither it be physical abuse, mental, emotional,vandelizm, hate or anything you can think of, and your gonna wanna hate them for as long as you can remember what they did. But those small things that they do to you, can tare you down as a person. Being beaten by your boyfriend, is going to hurt you and ruin you in so many places if you let it. It sucks, But what is feeling sorry for what happened, and Thinking about it going to do for you? Sure you know what kind of guy to look out for after it, but it shouldnt affect anything else. the moment you let what people do to you hurt you longer than nessasry, the more you live in the past, and you dont move on to the future..
Forgivness can sound dumb at times, and completly out of the picture, but forgivness can be the best medicine you can buy.... and its free.
