Seeing your best friend cry...

Today I saw a very good friend of mine cry... he had an argument with his family, and they said horrible things to him. I'm not justifying his actions, but sometimes it makes me think...

why are we so unforgiving? Is it that we enjoy making other person's life miserable? Specially when one's young, and doesn't know very well what he or she's doing?

This is very cruel, very cruel! I hate when people hurt others just "to give them a lesson"... if they could see what lies in someone's heart, if they could feel their pain...

I really hope someone can understand what i'm talking about... :'(

After all, didn't Jesus forgive the prostitute? Didn't he forgive the repentant thief? Didn't he approach with compassion the tax collector who was hated by all?

Revenge only makes things worse. It hurts people's feelings, and can have someone marked for life. I know, i HAVE lived it.

Too bad that the people who should be reading this message won't read it... they don't even trust me

You know... what hurts me most is that my friend's family think they're doing"the right thing". That's stupid, since when tearing someone's soul apart is doing "the right thing"? Hypocrites.

 

poor guy. its not right to through people problems in there face, just to teach them a lesson. we find it hard to forgive because sometime we just don't want to. it's in everyones heart to forgive they just have to be willing to do so. good luck to your friend. -Neo
