A friend was telling me today about someone from her past, how much he had wronged her and how she still loathes him. As she went on...and on... I could see her getting more and more upset and in the end her lunch was only half eaten.I could not do anything or say anything to ease her emotional state, because everytime I interjected to ask her to "forget it", she got even more upset.
What she does not know is that like her I had a similar bitter experience in the past, only even much much worse. Fortunately for me, "time heals" and I think I had "forgiven" because over time I had classified the experience as "fated", and I had also willed myself to forget and not to factor the unpleasant memories in my daily life. I think I do not want to carry that unnecessary emotional baggage throughout my life.
