ma niqqa...thats what i was thinking too

Fedayeen:
I was going through the internet when i came across this picture. I was touched because the picture was also speaking directly to me.


I've had issues and misunderstanding with people and most times i feel like connecting back or using the word I'm sorry but my bloated ego has always been my problem.


Hate is too much a burden and when you don't forgive it takes away the free joy and peace which nature has blessed us with.


I had to let go of my ego and call up my friend and apologise and the funny thing was she was so happy to receive my call and she has also been in the same quagmire like me.



Take a look at the picture and think deep if it can also change something in you.

I've that image too.
But some issues are not same with other, sometimes you've to let toxic people go.

Namaste.

How much you go pay?

"This image is the most powerful art piece this year. The sculpture of two adults after a disagreement sitting with their back to each other. Yet, the inner child in both of them simply wants to connect. Age has taught us much, but what we can't live without is ego, hatred and grudges that prevent us from forgiving and moving ahead. The free spirit exhibited by children is our true nature."

Thanks. May your children buy you the latest car in their time.

Heartwarming it may be but there are people you must stay away from for your sanity.
That said, you don't have to hate them or even be angry at them for you to recognize it simply will not work. I think it is more important to let go of resentment and anger but not the lessons learned from the interaction.
I miss my former best friend, some days more than others, I can say I still love her and bear no ill will towards her but I can never allow her back into my life.
She is too destructive by nature.

I agree. The world is not always filled with well meaning people....

sorry @cherry007 ,am used to saying "man" inbtw words,it aint gender specific.

And if any quarrelling men don't forgive each other, perhaps it's a lady that's behind it all.

You right!

That's true...some days ago a gal told me the same thing.

Amen... and you too. Thanks

That's the problem, for me it's the utterance that matters the most. Only hearing "am sorry" makes me calm down and forgive. You can repeat the mistake tomorrow so long you apologize.
That Ego feeling to say am sorry is the undoing of most ladies. That's what crashed my engagement.

people will easily take you for a fool if all they have to do is 'say sorry' without meaning it. Then they'll keep doing what vexes you.

Words mean nothing to me, it means a lot to many people, but like I said, anybody can say anything. I have a friend, when we first met, she would have tantrums, embarrass me in public and just say "I'm sorry" and we would be good. But she always reverted to the same shitty attitude every week and it affected her relationship with everyone around her.

I had to continually put my foot down and tell her 'it's not enough to just say it, you have to mean it by your actions'. And I can say she's truly changed a lot since then.


You're not helping someone by just collecting 'sorry' everytime they display unsavoury character. Be the change in their lives

Apology accepted@ fabiano09 that is why we are one. No cause for alarm ok.

Naff24:
How I wish I could have dis kind of heart....am too rigid to let go of issues just bcz I don't forget tins easily, now my problem is how would I forgive wen I can't even forget issues.
Sometimes, I do ask myself dat why all dis shits are happening, I can't figure out wat d problem really is and it's seriously affecting me in all aspects of my life
Any idea to curb dis act

certain issues should never be forgotten so you never repeat the mistake.

It's possible to forgive someone; this means you bear no ill wills towards the person neither do you resent him or her, but you don't forget their transgessions; this would imply being cautious around the person and maybe not divulging information ad freely as you normally would.

You can forgive, but you shouldn't forget some things

Ego will kill your talent! I no remember who talk am. I just dey echo the poster before me! But before then,bosi gbanga.....

TrollTrap:
Awww how insightful

But thing is, my ego won't let me deal with my ego issues. So what else can I do but to sit, stew and wallow in my ego.

u can add prayers to that list it helps a great deal

Gospel truth

safarigirl:
I forgive people all the time. Just gimme two hours to vent and then we're back.

Can't stay past two hours without talking to someone....oh, and I won't say I'm sorry. I prefer to show it, anybody can say sorry. What matters is do you mean it?

guess I like your type then...my pastor taught me to forgive in advance

I wish I can be able to do this. I get angry so much. And If there's misunderstanding between me and someone it takes me time to forgive and I don't like it. I have been living in the same room with a dude for over a month now and we have not been interacting. I pray God forgive me.

Seeeeeeee:
Yea even common greetings some people will wait for you to greet them first then they answer... Me if i greet you twice the next is ur turn, if you don't greet i can sit with you on the same bench and do as if i don't know you b4.

I agree with your point(s). But personally if I am to choose between two friends one a chronic offender but always apologizes, the other seldom offends but NEVER apologize ; I'd go with the former. IMO though.

The pic, very deep!

I know men who hardly forgive a sin and even after saying they forgive someone, they can't wait to get their own pound of flesh

there is no one that never apologises, but there are those who always apologise.

"I'm sorry" can only cure so many ills, sometimes sorry is simply not enough

Just feel many might acknowledge your request but forget to heed to the plea.
